Well...thanks to your prayers for boldness....I did it!!!!
Today was the day that I invited Joe to our church!
He seemed appreciative for the invitation...I handed him a brochure which describes the different ministries we have at Emmanuel, anyway, I was surprised at how easy it was...I should do this more often.
Oh well, enough about me...
Jeff has only 2 radiation treatments left and then, God willing, his memory will slowly come back! He will have to continue taking the chemo for at least a week (the chemo was started later because our pharmacy screwed up the initial prescription) and then maybe after taking a break, take it again for a time...that's apparently the treatment schedule with chemo...he doesn't like it, but at least he won't be as tired on only one treatment and his memory should slowly come back...by the way, yesterday the doctor suggested that his memory could take weeks or months to come back entirely...they really aren't sure because everyone is different...please pray that God restores it before months go by...Thank you!!! Other than the memory thing, we are doing pretty well...when I feel like I am at the end of my rope with Jeff or Dalaynee 
and I'm ready to snap at one of them, God grants me His grace and peace and, in a calm voice, nice words come out of my mouth!!!! My parents have offered to take Laynee once in a while and a lady from our church, Teri (our backup babysitter), has offered to take her one day this week, so that will be a big help!
Incidentally, We have been so blessed by dinners, monetary gifts and gift cards that we are overwhelmed...we've received dinners from friends at church, grocery & dinner gift cards from family in Washington...monetary gifts from one of our fellow church families, gas gift cards from a church family and today we received another monetary gift from an anonymous church member (if you are reading this, THANK YOU!!!)...God truly provides!!!!!!
The current prayer requests are somewhat the same...obliterate the cancer, restore memory sooner than the doctors think, & also pray for Susan, Jennifer (the girl we met in radiation), Joe Delaney, Larry Litherland (the father of a friend of ours from church, that has a brain tumor as well), and all the others in our family & church that are struggling with health issues.

Also, please ask God to keep a special hand on the Wubben baby... my cousins in Washington state (Kathy & Dale Wubben) are expecting their 4th child and, long story short, the doctors have noticed some ventricals in the brain that are larger than they should be...Kathy will be induced on the August 25th...please pray that this little Wubben will be born healthy and strong and grow with his or her brothers & sister to be mighty believers!!!Again, we are so appreciative for all your love, support and prayers...we are comforted and are definitely experiencing the presence of God!
