Knouf Family

TRAVIS FAMILY UPDATE We are truly sorry that we have to report that Esther's Cancer has returned and is progressing very rapidly. We had a series of tests run in December, just before Christmas that showed the cancer was beginning to grow again. At that time it looked like we might be able to operate, remove the cancer and treat her with radiation therapy, here in India. The surgery was scheduled for the 2nd week in January. Esther and I went back to Delhi for the surgery this last week, but the follow up scan prior to surgery showed that the cancer had started growing in some of her bones as well, which means that most likely her cancer is also in her bone marrow. This makes surgery an inadequate solution, since the cancer is not confined to one location. It looks like chemotherapy is the only option we have at this point. While India does have cancer treatment centers, they cannot give the same standard of care that is available in the states. In addition, since Esther had life t...

Playing the game of Life isn't always "fun" is it? Well to bring you up to date on our ever adventurous life, I will start with We are in Washington State now so We have travelled the USA from coast to coast and then some. It is so strange when a curve ball is sent your way and your life seems turned upside down. That is how I feel and I don't really know how to put it to words, except to say that my head is spinning at how fast our lives have changed over the past two months! We were in Ohio state when we heard the news that My brother and his family were moving to WA and the Church in Cathedral City would need some one to fill in until they found a pastor. The Lord laid it on Jon and my heart to do a complete 180 and change our plans and go try to be a blessing to BBC, we drove straight there, Jon barely let us get out to walk, :0) and we made it in 4 days. We were welcomed back to August in the desert, triple digits! Jon caved up the RV and made it more tolerab...

Our Friends We ALL had a great time visiting with our friends the "Litz Family" this past weekend! It was fun catching up on our friendships and for some of the kids making “new” friends . They were such a blessing to us, Carol has been a great friend for over 2o yrs. and has inspired me in many ways, it is a blessing to have those kinds of friends! We saw them about 3 yrs ago and took pictures of all the kids, so I thought it would be fun to have a little blast from the past!
