Feldmeier Update

Received this email from Jenny Feldmeier and thought I would pass it on to all those who have been praying for them.
To all our friends & Family who have been praying endlessly for us, Praise God as we continue to see his hand work in our lives. What a marvellous God we serve, though rainald didn't get the healing we so greatly sort, we at all times, felt the work of fellow brothers & sisters holding us up before our creator. Our creator not only got us through this whole ordeal but provided for us, through you all, our financial needs. We have now settled into our home, with our children around us, looking for what's next. While this is happening I am going back to uni, part time, to continue my degree, bachelor of Social Science. The youngest three children are back in school continuing their studies, Jess in year 11, Dean year 8 & Emily year 7. Dean and emily have joined soccer clubs and soon we will be spending saturdays down at the park watching them. Daniel has found full time employment at a mushroom farm till he makes up his mind what his future holds. He has some ideas and no doubt will make something of his life. He has also passed his driving test and now hassles me for the keys. Jess also has a part time job at subway and is saving her money to return to malawi. Rainald is concentrating on getting better and trying to overcome some of the continuing side effects of chemo, rashes, mouth thrush and fatigue. He has committed himself to mowing the church lawns till easter ,this will get him fit, as will his weekly work out program with his friend. His hair has started to grow back & he has to shave daily again! He gets a little low at times as he finds he can not do all he desires but that will get better with time and in a few months he will be running around again. He is not sure what he will do after that but God does and all we have to do is be patient till then. A few weeks ago we took a family service at church where we reflected on our time in malawi. This was a good opportunity to revisit our time there and deal with some of the emotions that we experienced in leaving. It was possibly the first time we sat down together as a family and discussed how we all felt. There was a lot of tears and reminiscing, sharing of what we learnt, what we miss and what we don't. I know it helped organise our thoughts and emotions, realising that though we were taken from there prematurely, it was what God allowed. He knew the beginning from the end. He has our life in His hands and our best interests at heart and it is only when we trust Him totally that we can easily accept what comes along in our lives. Rainald's treatment was taken out of our hands when we knew that he had cancer. We had to leave malawi or we would have been burying him there. Were we acting in faith, that question still remains. What I do know is that we did what we did and though the treatment was not good, Rainald is still with us today and God will use the emotions and life experience we gained through this to help others in this same situation. We still believe God is a miracle working God who could have healed Rainald by His word, that did not happen but other things did. Other miracles took place in the lives of those around us and we grew, our faith in Him was challenged and as i look at rainald today i know he is not the same man that went to malawi a year ago. he has changed as we all have. So again I say thank you to all who prayed and believed with us for God's will in this situation. Rainald is now cancer free, and we are back together as a family. What could be better. Blessings rainald & jennifer
