Well...today my Blog title was taken from last year's EFY theme. I thought it was appropriate!
For my next blog, I've decided to give an update on my cousin!
He was transferred to a hospital which is said to be the top hospital in all of South America. There was a team of Neurosurgeons waiting there to take over his case. When he got there, he was not doing well and things didn't look good. However, yesterday he started doing better. He improved a lot, but is still in very serious condition. He is now out of the medically induced coma, but still on a ventilator (so still unconscious). His parents have been so touched by everyone's love, concern, and prayers.
It has been really neat for me to watch all of this happen. I don't know if anyone has looked at his blog, but it had about 7,000 views on Tuesday, and now it is up to 56,000. The coolest thing to me is that Britten continues to do missionary work! For example. We gave the blog address to one of my aunts from the other side of the family, who is not a member, and now she is able to read about all the things his parents are writing about, and all the people who are praying and commenting on the page! We are excited to see what kinds of seeds that plants for her.
All in all...I am in amazement at what the media can do today. It is such a blessing in situations like this! It is definitely no wonder why Satan would want something so good to be clouded by such disgusting and vulgar perceptions/uses.
I know that Christ lives, and I pledge to always use the media in a way that would be pleasing to Him.
Thank you all for your prayers for my cousin!! We have a good outlook. His mother's faith is extremely touching. If you haven't had a chance to look, go ahead!
