Amazing news! Chun Yu went to the hospital today to get a checkup, and the doctor insisted on doing an MRI on her. Bethel didn't want it because it's quite expensive, but the doctor did it for free.

They found out that all her physical discomfort, mental slowness, and vision problems are caused by a brain tumor the size of a fist. It's operable, Bethel has enough money to do the surgery, and the doctors can do it whenever Bethel is ready. If they remove the tumor, they hope she can become a normal healthy child.

Please pray for Chun Yu. Pray for the doctors to be skillful and wise in performing the surgery and that Chun Yu will be able to heal fully.

The first night Chun Yu stayed in the sick room, I prayed over her and asked God to protect her and heal her. I prayed clumsily in Chinese, saying that I know He is all-powerful and can heal her, but even if He does not heal her, I prayed that He would provide for her to have a happy life. I didn't really expect for her vision and mental health to be restored miraculously. But God works in many ways--perhaps this is the start to her recovery. Right now I am thinking a lot of big thoughts--if I were 30 years old (the legal requirement for adoption), I would try my hardest to adopt her. But I'm just 19. I will continue to trust that she's in good hands, and God will take care of her just like He takes care of all the other children at Bethel.

Please pray for her!
