Robyn Figgins sent this update:  "Faith Williams was able to come home Saturday to visit. Saturday afternoon she and her husband, Donnie, were in a car accident. Someone pulled out in front of Donnie and he didn’t have time to stop. No one was hurt, it just jarred Faith. She was at church yesterday morning, but she was so weak she had to be brought inside in a wheelchair. As the day went on her health continued to deteriorate. She wasn’t due back to Baylor until today, but because of her complications, Brenda took her to the Baylor Cancer center ER yesterday afternoon, where they immediately admitted her into the hospital. She is scheduled for several more scans and blood work today. They will be doing a Pet Scan of her head to see if the lymphoma has spread into her face. If it has, and the lymphoma is active, she will have to have more chemotherapy before they can proceed with the stem cell transplant. She is feeling a bit better today and is more talkative."

Prayer Request - 5/20 - 10pm

Baby Aubrie Miller is waiting for a new heart and her Mom, April posted this message tonight:  "When I got to the room tonight, I noticed that her heart rate was in the 180s, which is very high from what it's been... I asked why it was so high & then found out she had a fever of 100.4 =(( Poor baby was warm & kind of fussy!! The fellow came in & looked at her & said that they would watch it close over tonight!! If it stays elevated, then they are going to do cultures on her PICC line & let it grow for 24hrs & see if there is any kind of infection!! Since the PICC line is a foreign object in the body, it's at a higher risk for infection!! So, the scary part is that if she does have a fever or infection at the time with that perfect heart comes along, Aubrie will not be able to get it, because she will be put on hold on the transplant list!! Let's all come together & pray that Aubrie doesn't keep the fever & that there isn't any infection!! All of your prayers are working & have gotten us this far, & they mean soooo much to us!!"

Prayer Request - 5/20 - 7:45pm

Monica Jones sent this email about Mackenna's mission team in Africa:   "Just wanted to give you a brief update on an event that happened last night at the Chimala mission in Tanzania where 10 students and I are doing a mission project for three weeks. There was a fire in the dormitory of the secondary school on the mission. All the Tanzanian students got out safely and no one was hurt, but half the dormitory burned down leaving only the walls. Myself and all the students went down to the dormitory and by the time we got there it was a raging fire. The students did great! Some helped to organize the younger children and keep them calm while others joined the bucket brigade which helped put out the fire after two to three hours of work. There is no fire department where we are, so there were literally hundreds of Tanzanians helping to put out the fire using buckets filled with water from a nearby stream. All the OC students were very safe and I am extremely proud of how they responded and served alongside the Tanzanians. It was a chaotic and somewhat traumatic scene, so I ask that you keep the Tanzanian students, teachers and administrators of the school, and missionaries here in your prayers. Also, pray for our OC students. Everyone is okay but it is a lot to process and they are very tired from a long night of hard work.
Again, all the OC students a doing well. They even went to a village this morning to do a VBS, but prayers would be appreciated."
