Pet Scan # 2 - Our God is an Awesome God

It's a great day when the doctor's report agrees with our (sometime wavering faith)....Pet Scan last Tuesday presented a few Below The Line moments! I must confess (tina that is) that I had to pray for my unbelief. God is faithful - Ron's scan was cancer free and clear. We apologize for not keeping up with our blog more regularly but September has been a very full month.

Keeping up the Konkins is just a little overwhelming these days. Mia's answer to her cousin's question: "What's new, Mia?"

She said:
1. uh, I moved (to Anaheim Hills)
2. I started a new school
3. I'm learning piano
4. and uh I have a new dog

So that was Mia's List - here's our update for Sept:

1. All the above
2. Sept. 11 - All day Learn, Love & Laugh seminar
3. Sept 16-19 New 4 day Couples Retreat at Ritz Carlton in Santa Monica. (Awesome Retreat)
4. Sept 23- 26 - Marriage BootCamp - wow, miracles never cease!
5. Tuesday, Sept 28 - Ron's Pet Scan! MIRACLE day!
6. Sept 30 - Our daughter Jenny's 28th bday here in Cali with us!

Canadian Thanksgiving. We are going back to Vancouver October 7-12th for Canadian Thanksgiving.

Challenge: Ron will also be taking a trip to Roatan, Honduras in October to visit a child that only knows us as his mom & dad. We have been supporting him since he was 12 and is now 22. His birth mom passed away when he was 13 and Haster has never known his dad. He has been on his own since he was 13 with only our long distance support and occasional visits. We have seen him through school and helped him graduate with a seaman certificate.

He has grown to be a fine, responsible young man. We are very proud of him. Two weeks ago he was in a very serious car accident and a mother and 4 year old child were instantly killed. Though it was an accident Haster (our adopted son) is very shook up and feels responsibility to the family for their loss. Ron is going to go visit him and see what he can do to help Haster and the family. Not sure yet if I will take the trip with Ron.

Thank you Leslie and Dan Klassen from Winnipeg, Canada who were here to hear the news of the tragedy to help us through it, as we felt very overwhelmed. I did go very much Below the Line for 2 days and litter ally was not functioning. The news of the accident hit us Monday Sept 20 - yes the day after Marriage Retreat and 3 days before Marriage BootCamp. Leslie thank you my friend and Margaret for totally taking over what needed to get done for the bootcamp. BIG THANK YOU to Dan & Leslie for donating to the victim's family to help them get through this loss financially.

So that was our Sweet September! Miracles & challenges in the Konkin household!
