English birthday party

The English-speaking women had a birthday party for Dottie. They have a Bible study together with her every Thursday. It stimulates Dottie´s mind and she loves the fellowship. It keeps her connected. I

came out of our house rest room and Dottie sad “I heard you practicing the piano and you are getting better”. Of course, I do not play the piano.

A very serious matter of payer as Katie who has been part of casa for over 20 years had back surgery and there now are complications with her neck and she is suffering great pain. Please pray for relief and a miracle.

Jerry had surgery also and he appears to be doing fine.

Another sad note is Heidi who is our American music teacher. She caught pneumonia and was hospitalized with an oxygen level that could have been fatal. She was released and returned to Casa but her oxygen intake is dangerously low. She is going to move to San Cristobal which is 2000 feet lower than Casa Alleluia and drive up to Casa to teach music.

If her oxygen intake does not improve she will have to return home to the states and that would be a major problem for our music ministry.

The reason I want to be merciful to everyone is based on Ecclesiastes 7:20 “For there is not a just man upon the earth, that doeth good and sinneth not”. I want to throw myself on the mercy of God.

The fifth purpose of the Bible is to preach, listen and apply. James 1:22 “Be you doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving our own selves. The reason we should go to church or Bible studies is so that we can learn how to live and share that with others. So many people go to church and hear a sermon but never truly apply it to their life.

Dottie is being blessed by the English speaking women on staff.
