Morley Update 2012 #30



Everyone,
We arrived in OR on the 11th and spoke at our home Church - Fern Ridge Christian Church (formerly Elmira Church of Christ) on Sunday. Kent and I both said we felt a little under prepared and there were a few technical glitches like the music my future son in law worked so hard to put behind our presentation not playing but it went well all the same. When sharing about the work in Greece it is easy to be excited about what God is doing. We were very blessed to have our former pastors Darren and Ruthie Knowles visiting that same day so it was a day of reconnecting with old friends and making some new ones. Several supporters traveled quite a ways to hear us and we were so happy to be able to share with our extended team.

On Monday we traveled to the Salem area to see our sister-in-law and her family. We had a lovely day of visiting and good food. However that night I became very ill and by morning we knew I needed to go to the hospital most likely to have my gall bladder removed something I was planning to do sometime after we returned to Greece. Sure enough an ultra sound revealed that a large stone had moved and we were past the point of no return. Because of the blood thinners I take we waited until Wednesday morning to do the surgery. All went well and after another night in the hospital I came home to my parent's home to recuperate. I have some pain but am doing quite well. However a few things like going on hikes with my kids or playing golf will be out. I am restricted from lifting for the next two weeks so Kent will need to deal with all our bags when we make our trip to CA next week. The doctor said it will be about 6 weeks until I am fully recovered so I will need to take it a bit easy even when we return to Greece.

Thank you for praying for us - we are happy to be with our family and enjoying the beautiful green of Oregon.
