As of a visit to Richard Gonzales at Wilford Hall early Sunday afternoon he looks good and has a very good attitude. He thanks everyone for prayers stating that he could actually feel the power of prayer. He is hungry since he has been nourished through an IV since surgery on this past Friday. Says he may be allowed to eat jello on Monday. He loves to talk about Knights of Columbus activities. This visitor planned to spend ten minutes with him but extended it to 45. He asks that we continue to pray for him. Sam Szalwinski

Good Afternoon my brothers in Christ and fellow Knights:

I don’t know if you are aware of this or not but our brother Nat Chavez is under going some challenging medical problems.

Essentially he is having to see a Neurosurgeon and a growth has been detected near one of the stent sites in the cerebral area of his brain. He has been having some headaches that at times are almost unbearable.

Please note that Nat’s faith has been challenged and tested by the recent course of medical events however his faith is as strong if not stronger than before.

Please include not only brother Nat in your prayers but also include his family.

He is scheduled to go back to see the neurosurgeon in a week and he will let him know what can or can’t be done.

Once again the power of prayer is one of the most powerful medicines that any person can ever receive.

Pass the word about Brother Nat and I will try to keep you all informed as to the prognosis of Nat’s situation.

God Bless you all and I hope to have some wonderful news regarding Nat in a week or so.

Your Brother in Christ. God is good all of the time.

This is an update on Ken’s condition.
He had stent put on one of his arteries. This is the second one. His artery was 90% clogged.
He will be spending the night at the hospital(Northwest Baptist). I forgot the room number.
Ken might be going home tomorrow.
Please keep him in your prayers.
