And so, this morning, I'm sharing a prayer request from our family. My sister-in-law, Olya, has a tumor in her spine. It is a fast growing tumor and there is also a possibility that there is an additional tumor in her abdomen. She and my brother, Peter, live in Krasnoyarsk, a large city in Siberia (Russia). The health care standards there are not quite the same as those in the United States, but we're grateful that she was admitted to a hospital and they're hoping to do surgery tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 6). Please pray that they can remove the tumor, that it is benign, that there will be no complications (including no paralysis), and that no other tumors are present.
It's difficult having them so far away. In addition, Peter and Olya were planning to come to the US for Christmas next month. We're hoping that if everything goes well, they will still be able to come.
Thanks so much for your prayers. Here is a photo of Olya and Peter.

Praying for your sister-in-law and the rest of your family.
Oh, that's hard. We lived in Kiev, Ukraine for two and half years so are well acquainted with how challenging medical treatment can be in that part of the world. We will trust that all goes well.
