Many of you would remember, from an earlier post, that Conrad was at SMBI during the 2nd term. This was the November/December term. Kendra was able to go back for the 3rd term and is there now. Conrad, Katrina, Ashley, Stephanie Keller, went this weekend to visit Kendra over her birthday. All of SMBI was shocked with the news that came today. Japheth Stauffer posted the following on his blog today:

Today God Saw fit to take another of His gems home. We received word this afternoon that Krystal Yoder, wife of Val Yoder, was ushered into the presence of her beloved Savior.

She has had a long battle with her heart and today it gave out on her while attending a wedding in Lancaster Pennsylvania. Her brother who is a medical doctor was there with her and said that she could not have been revived even if she had been at the best hospital. It was her time to go.

Please pray for their family! Their oldest son is in Thailand doing prep work for the whole family to move there next year. This also happened at the same time that Val was attending a meeting to plan the development of a Bible school for Asians in Thailand. Pray for the family’s strength in all of this!!
