And what a glorious time it is!
It is July and that means it is time to plan for my annual trip to Mongolia :). This will be my 4th trip with the For Heart and Souls team, and of course, I can't wait to get back! This year has been pretty quiet for me on the overseas traveling front. This will be my first team trip for the year and I can hardly contain myself while waiting for September to arrive!
The team is planning on completing 10 open heart surgeries, as well as 20 heart catheterization procedures, in the week that we are there. There will not be a Searching week preceding the surgery week this year because last year we completed screening the entire country of Mongolia. Because of this, the cost is down from around $4000 to about $2800, but I still need some help. Please prayerfully consider helping me get to Mongolia this year. If you haven't had the opportunity to read my blog, please look over the previous entries. I want you to know what you are giving towards and why. It is a very worthwhile investment.
I would also ask that you mark your calendars and pray for the team while we are there. Last year we had at least 2 children who we literally prayed out of the operating room when things looked grim. Both made full and miraculous recoveries, and many of you were part of that by praying from all around the world. Your prayers are extremely important to us and we feel them when we are there. We will be in-country from Sept 21-28th and operating the 23-27th.
Thank you for all of your support over the last few years. I couldn't do it without you. As always, I am happy to answer any questions, and if you would like to commit to pray for the team, feel free to e-mail me at smyle2@hotmail.com. Also, if you would like to contribute financially, contact me via e-mail or facebook and I will get you the information you need.
