Tiuli continues to recover in the hospital, Swansons write:
Noah, has been a complete blessing. Tiuli is totally incapable of doing anything for herself. Shannon went to give her a banana and then recognized that she must be hand fed every bite or drink of water she sips. Noah has been standing by her side holding the bed pan for her and scratching places on her body that itch. Even a small desire to move over on her side requires much help from Noah. And yet, through the many times we’ve seen him and heard her ask for him to perform countless deeds… he has been extremely kind. He hasn’t raised his voice or refused to do anything she’s asked. Quite a testimony to the prayers of you all and our great God.
Please keep praying for Noah. Yesterday, while we were talking he said to me. “Yes, it was hard to see the pig do that to her. I said to myself. ‘ Will she be able to walk around anymore? Will I ever go along with her to jungle again? Or will God let this be her last day? Help her not to die yet, God.” Yes, it does appear that God is working in Noah’s life. He , like any other big brother, has a heart for his sister. Pray that God would use this situation in the heart of Noah to draw him nearer to God Himself.
Thank you all so much for praying for Tiuli and Noah. Their hearts are encouraged in knowing that many people in many places are praying for them. Please continue to pray for healing. The doctor voiced today that his biggest concern was that Tiuli not develop a bad infection. She is also very anemic. She has been given some blood and will receive some more soon. Please continue to pray for their parents and the other Siawis who are close to Tiuli. Pray that the Siawi believers wouldn’t buy into the lies satan has held them in bondage with for years. Many people might say that pig was really a dead ancestor repaying the village for something they had done wrong. Pray that they wouldn’t listen to wisdom of this world. Pray that they would stand strong on God’s word and look to Him and Him alone.
