The Morocho Family with a little friend from the congregation on the far leftWe have just come back from the hospital visiting Joanna (well actually we only saw her from the window, but we visited with her parents). Things are looking very grim for the little chica and we feel very powerless. She has been hemorrhaging and the doctors are giving her parents real grief about the blood issue. Joanna herself has made a stand and said she does not want to go against Jehovahs law. They are being so mean that they will not get the medicine for her chemotherapy at the discounted price (not quite sure what that was, possibly the $300 I was first told). Anyway it is now $650 a pop and she needs 15 treatments. The Hospital Liason Committee has been able to arrange to get the medicine from Columbia at $400 so they will fly a brother up there to get it as soon as the money is arranged. We have very little more that we can give so would like to be able to give help from our brothers and sisters across the pacific. Every little bit will help! If you would like to donate - please contact my sister Ann and she will give you details. I know Nancy and Homero would thank you from the bottom of their hearts. Of course we are one large family in Jehovahs organization and when one member hurts, we all do. I have to say this about this couple, they are facing real tragedy and they are only quite new in the truth but their faith is strong and they have great fortitude. The peace of Jehovah certainly is with them.
It was quite draining being at the hospital and again very frustrating when the words we wanted to say would not come out right. However I know that they appreciated just having our support - just being there was what was important.

*Because of the language barrier and your words may be few,
hope these words are of some encouragement i am sending to you*
Theres a saying "love in any language straight from the heart. Pulls us all together, never apart."*
Meaning we do share this pure language worldwide, we have the annointed and more so Jehovah clinging to our side.*
And this language we share must come right from the heart, that in times of need and trials, it keeps us together warding off Satans darts.*
Be assured Joanna and her family appreciate having you there, both you and Mark were ment to be in Spanishland and not over here.*
As I said earlier Jehovah is blessing you cause you both are sticking to your plans, the couple with a big heart doing what you do best, support and love in times of trials in Spanishland.*
So keep that pretty head smiling our love and prayers are with you in Spanishland," Jehovah loves a cheerful giver" it's at work with your brothers and sisters here in Kiwiland.
