Wheaton Visit

We saw so many friends on our Wheaton leg of the trip. We had an opportunity to share in our Sunday School class an shared a bit in the Sunday night service.
We did not take as many pictures with friends as we would have liked. It is hard to break up a good conversation with old friends to shoot a picture. But we certainly value all of you. :D

Anyway, here are a couple of our Wheaton friends from that short visit!

These two are friends from as long as 18 years ago when we were all in the same newly married Sunday school. Lisa Blunt, and Ruthe Ledbetter. It was so fun to see them again.

Ruthe was so gracious to have us stay in her home. Thanks Ruthe!

Janet P. and her husband send out our prayer letters. They've done this since we left for Cote D'Ivoire in 1996. Thanks so much for your work, Robert & Janet!

It has been such a blessing to visit people and also for them to see Lisa and marvel at how good she really is doing. So many of you tell us how you are pained for Lisa, and how you pray even daily for our family. It really means so much, thank you.

Our kids have put up with all the travel. They've enjoyed seeing friends, too. But they put up with a lot of boring hours on the road. It is so nice to have Hilary with us...

** No news of Lisa at this point. Our next appointment is August 1st, where she will have an MRI scan. The results will be digital, so we have an appointment with the surgeon right afterwards, and will talk about the next step in her treatment. Hopefully scheduling the implant surgery... but we'll see!

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks so much for praying for us..

Tom & Lisa Seward

PS. If we didn't see you while we were in Wheaton it was because we were only there Saturday Sunday and Monday. But we will be ther elonger our next time as we're planning to take part in the missionary conference at First Baptist of Wheaton in February. So we'll be there a bit longer and have more time to see more of you. :D
