Dear friends and family,

Daniel is doing really well. Every day his personality returns a little 
more. Both doctors (and/or their residents) say that everything looks great. 
The only problem Dr. Sheldon was concerned about was whether he is peeing 
enough. I am hoping it is not a problem since the bag that his foley was not 
draining well until a nurse put a bunch of air into the bag. Something new 
that I did not know is that we need to pray for the bladder wall to thin out 
to normal size so it has a chance to work. On Friday, Dr. Sheldon will be 
perform a minor procedure where they will place Daniel under anesthesia to 
take out some tubes and do a real thorough exam. They are putting him under 
because otherwise it would be very uncomfortable for him. Please continue 
your prayers for Daniel.

Please pray for Toby and the mission. Satan is really attacking it right 
now. The Catholic church is doing everything they can to prevent people from 
coming to our church services and accepting Christ. Juan, our new minister 
from Dominican Republic, broke up with his fiance because of some ethical 
issues that he found out about her. The truck was down for a week because a 
bolt had fallen out of the engine and caused a lot of damage. Toby had it a 
week when it broke down again on Saturday. Right after I left, a huge storm 
came up and tore off the roof on the guest house. The truck broke down when 
Toby went down the next day to bring up roofing material to replace the roof. 
He had to rent a truck for a week while the truck was down to prepare for 2 
guys coming down on Saturday to build a church, buy material to replace the 
roof, and keep the ministry going. Since the truck is down again he has had 
to rent another truck for several days for the same reason. It has been 
really frustrating for Toby so please keep in him your prayers.

God bless,

Toby and Amy Hill
