My Girls!

This weekend, Alyssia and Rissa are moving into their respective universities.  Alyssia will start her senior year at Dallas Baptist University and Rissa will be a freshman at Southeastern University (Lakeland, Florida). 

Alyssia took her MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) yesterday.  The results will come in about a month.  Thank you to all of you who have been praying for her.  She will also start a new job in the Security Department at DBU.  Alyssia has started to raise funds for a nine-month medical volunteer tour she has planned for next year (a gap year between college and medical school).  This trip will take her to Cambodia, India and Ghana. We will soon set up a Facebook page to keep you updated and to let you know how you can help her in this missionary journey.

It was discovered that Rissa has a cyst in her left ovary (the size of a golf ball!).  Please pray that the medications she is taking will take care of dissolving the cyst, if not, she will have to have surgery in a couple of months.  Rissa has spent the summer in Clermont, Florida (thank you Clermont Baptist Church!) working as a server at Flipper's Pizzeria, but she is thrilled to start a new adventure in college.  Please continue to pray for her!

I love my girls!!
