You may remember that a while ago I informed you that our friend Reuben Epp
(Kelowna, Canada) had fallen ill and had recovered. This week he fell ill
again and had to undergo abdominal surgery as a case of emergency.
Fortunately, everything worked out fine, and our Reuben is currently resting
and recovering at home. You will find his report below.
     Dear Reuben, on behalf of everyone who loves and admires you, I wish
you and your dear Irmgard the best. Make sure you'll return to us soon!

Reinhard/Ron

Dear Ron and Dianna,

I wish to confirm to you and our dear friends in Germany, that I had major,
emergency abdominal surgery late Wednesday evening, 3rd June 2004. Today,
Thursday, 10th of June, I am at home since yesterday and resting fairly
comfortably.

The response to my very severe and sudden pain was astonishingly swift and
thorough in the emergency ward of our hospital. And completely successful.

My personal physician (not the surgeon), who happened to be in the hall of
the hospital when we left, remarked, "Do you realize that you just dodged
the bullet?"

Irmgard and I both realize all too well, that this is the second time in
about half a year that the Good Lord has seen fit to allow me to sidestep
the bullet.

All the best! Must get back to rest!

Ron: Would you please pass this on to our mutual friends? I have not the
energy to translate nor to write any more today.

Reuben
