font-size: large;"><br /></span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">I was originally thinking that when my head pain is fully better and before returning to Mozambique, I would visit with several churches who have been so faithfully partnering with me in this time. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">There is some positive change regarding my head pain, and I will share about this as I see how it progresses. Although I am not yet fully well, I have been praying about visiting these churches.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">I believe that it is a special opportunity to praise God and declare His goodness and faithfulness when I am still in the midst of this, not just when it is over. Of course it is also a privilege to praise God at that time too! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">So, God willing, I'm planning to visit these churches and people in the Northeastern US from the end of August until the end of September, and hopefully later visit a wonderful church in New Mexico.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">I would appreciate prayer that I would be encouraging and edifying as I share about God's wonderful goodness and faithfulness in this time! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;
