Justin's Trip to Pusan, Korea.










Justin is on his way to Pusan, Korea. He left this morning on a flight to Detroit and then from there to Tokyo then on to Korea. He is so excited to be going and being a witness for Christ. He will be doing VBS there at a PCA church. His friend and classmate Aaron is the son of the pastor there. Justin will be teaching English and preaching. Please pray for God to keep his hand of protection on him during this time. He will be gone from July-14th- July-30th. I will be in Tampa, FL for some of this time while he is away to visit family. Hope all is doing well. Christ's Love, Laura


Justin's Trip to Korea.

Well Justin is heading to Korea as we speak. He is so excited to be going and spreading the gospel in Pusan, Korea. It will take him 18 hours to get there. There is a 14 hour difference so it is going to take him a while to get adjusted to the time difference. He will be gone from July- 14-July-30th. This is our first time apart and we are praying for Gods hand of protection for both of us and for God to calm our hearts while we are apart... Please pray for God to speak threw him at this time as well as his safety.
Thank you for all your prayers.
Christ's Love, Laura

Doctors Appointment.



The doctors appointment went well. They said the polyps were normal and just tissue from the lining of the uterus. He said I have endometriosis on my uterus and on both ovaries as well as it growing on the top of the bladder. He zapped it all and said it looked good. We need to get pregnant in the next 6 months to be on the safe side... I am going back to him after my next two full cycles and if we are not pregnant by then he will do the test on my tubes. So we are excited to start trying again and a better chance of it happening!! Please keep us in your prayers and for this to work. We are very hopeful :)
Love, Laura

My Surgery...

They found Endometriosis on my uterus and right ovary when the did the LAP "Laparoscopy" surgery where they go into my bellybutton and fill me with CO2 and put a camera in there to help them see and do the surgery. I had a DNC as well, in which they found two polyps and removed them and are testing them for any kind of abnormality. They did a procedure on my bladder for the IC "interstitial cystitis" Where they filled my bladder up the size of a leader to help expand my bladder which in turn helps with this disease. They then ran dye through my fallopian tubes to make sure there isn't any blockage. The dye did not go threw... There was blockage at the end of my fallopian tubes. The Doctor said it is better it is there then further up inside, because they can do surgery to help that. If it was any further up it would be very difficult to unblock them. They burned the Endometriosis on my uterus and on my right ovary, they said it looked promising when they finished. I am going back to see the Doctor on July 7th for a check up and for them to schedule a time for them to test my fallopian tubes to see how bad the blockage is. It will be a less invasive procedure where they will run dye threw them and do an x-ray to see if it is a real blockage or if they were just seizing up due to being moved around so much during the surgery. Just pray for God to give me peace about this and for my body to heal. I don’t want to go threw this surgery again…It is very painful and overwhelming for me right now.
Thank you for all your prayers.
Love, Laura
