11/1 weekend upate (a little behind!)

first of all, i wanted to thank all of you who were praying for our mom through her second round of palliative chemo. she's been having some nausea and tiredness, but other than that, she has been tolerating it reasonably well. praise God!!

sorry we are running so behind on these updates. lots been going on...it's hard to keep up with my mom :) last-last weekend (10/31-11/2) a lot of my mom's family came to vist her in houston. they spent a lot of time talking, sometimes late into the night. even though they've always been close, i know this trial has really brought them closer together. they travelled from all over the place to visit houston. my mom's oldest sister came all the way from taiwan to visit, my mom's oldest brother and his wife came from california, and our cousin elsa came from NYC. i know my mom wished that they could've stayed longer, but she was so thankful to have spent that time with them. here's a pic from that weekend:

also, miho and bryan visited from san francisco, along with his mother gloria, and their dog mei mei visited that weekend. thanks so much for the wonderful gifts as well! 

there's a lot more that's happened this past week, that you'll have to read about later :) please continue to pray for strength, faith, and encouragement for our mother, continued healing from the cancer in her body, and that God's glory would continue to be shown through this trial. 

until next time!
