Kristie Schreur shared good news this past Tuesday.  A doctor’s visit and x-ray tells that her foot is healing and the cracks are already beginning to fill in -   excellent news after only three weeks!  Kristie has a new cast and expects another x-ray in three weeks. Praise the Lord and continue to ask for healing.
