ANSWERED PRAYERS
Asia:
1. YA Theresa (PL 33:73): After sending in a prayer request for lumps in her breast, she had a mammograph to check for cysts or abnormalities. The results were negative, TTL!
2. Melissa (PL 31:101): Her eyes are doing much better and the inflammation is almost gone.
3. Hannah (PL 32:37): Pain in joints is much better.
4. Sarah I. (PL 33:71): Her injured knee has been steadily healing and she is able to walk on it more.
5. Paul and Lily (PL 30:79): All legal papers came through.
6. Nepal (PL 30:75): Long-term visas for one large family approved.
South America:
7. Faith (of Marcos) (PL 32:22): (Previously diagnosed as having cervical cancer.) The result of her biopsy showed no malignant cells and no need for another operation!
8. Clara (of Joseph) (PL 31:173): A certain hormone that was causing her not to have periods for the past eleven years and created a cyst in her forehead is now down to a normal level. Tests show that the cyst is small enough that it might disappear on its own. Recently there were indications that she might have her period soon--good signs that everything is normalizing.
9. Ana (of Samuel) (PL 30:176): Her varicose veins are doing better.
10. Maria Clara (4, of Mateo and Brunilda) (PL 32:94): (Born crippled and with other serious health problems.) "She is making a lot of progress in her therapy and is very inspired. A therapist who specializes in the study of muscles and human motion is helping us and he's exactly what we were praying for."
Europe and Africa:
11. Aaron (of Dulci) (PL 32:133): "After we sent in Aaron's prayer request for the healing of the tumors on his arm, the doctor removed one of the lumps for a diagnosis. However, even before we got the results of the diagnosis, all the other lumps had disappeared! Thank you very much for your faithful prayers!"
12. Thaddeus (PL 31:257): "Since returning to Europe from the tropics, my eyes, neck aches and headaches had become progressively more painful. I became quite weak and exhausted, having to rest much of the day, and was unable to do much reading or work at all. I felt quite discouraged and useless. However, within a few days of sending my prayer request in, things started happening! I had previously visited a doctor who was unable to help, but thought my problem seemed to be muscular or psychological in origin. I then visited an osteopath, who told me I probably had a trapped nerve in my spine and the aerobic exercises I had been doing over the years were making the problem worse, not helping it. I stopped the exercises, only doing the simple ones he prescribed. After only a few days, the pain in my neck subsided considerably and I gained some strength. Then I saw two eye specialists, who told me that I had no physical eye defects!"
North America:
13. Joy (TS) (PL 33:112): Her eye that was going blind is doing much better.
14. Chris (of Celeste) (PL 32:54): Has had considerably less pain in his back.
15. Esther (of Sam) (PL 33:104): "After three months of bleeding following a miscarriage, Esther started having normal periods again."
16. Laura (1, of Jared and Rebecca) (PL 32:67): "We sent in a prayer request for our daughter who has a growth on her lip. The doctor said it might go away when she is around three years old. But the week we sent in our prayer request, we noticed the growth became approximately half the size and is much less noticeable. We are expecting complete healing! It was difficult to send in the prayer request because we felt that we still have many lessons to learn through this affliction, but it's refreshing to remember healing is a gift of God, not something we can work up or earn."
17. Josh (of Hope): Healed of heart trouble.
18. Izzy (of Philip) (PL 28:320): "Izzy's permanent residency came through this month and it was incredible how easy it all was! Thanks for your wholehearted prayers!"
