Introduction

Late February of 2012 Mark was diagnosed with stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma Cancer. This is written for our family and friends who have so caringly expressed a desire to know of the current situation. We so appreciate the love and support that has been shown to us and we lovingly empathize with and pray for many of you that have had or are currently going through trials of your own. In love, hope and faith, Mark and Ane

We Told Rachel - by Ane

It has been wonderful to see and be with Rachel. At the airport I went out first to see her and warmly welcome each other and I told her that someone was bringing my other bag. So when Mark walked up she was totally shocked and excited!

She had the afternoon off so we were alone in the house. After she got a chance to tell us all about the place, we decided it was time. We just told her that we had some sad news - dad has cancer. Of course she was heartbroken and cried, but after talking for an hour or so she talked about how being here has taught her so much about how all things are in the Lord's hands and it will be okay.

This morning we got up early and went with her to her favorite orphanage - with the handicapped children. We are so proud off her!!! She gets right in there feeding & playing with the kids. This has been a life changing experience for her. Mark was quite tired so we took a taxi back to the house. She is off this afternoon so we'll see the town.
