The American visitors took a well-deserved day off to go shopping in Antigua. They were kind enough to take Marlin and Adela with them. My CAT-SCAN showed nothing at all to be concerned about. A blood test revealed a liver problem but only minor. God is good! Psalm…

Dottie's birthday meal with the women Today I had a CAT-SCAN so hopefully I will discover why I have had headaches for the last two years. It may even show why I had that medical episode of amnesia last week. God's love rescues us. Whatever chains hold you…

The work in Buen Pastor by the Texas team has been incredible. We had a good rain which was nice because everything was so dry. One of our boys had testicle surgery and it was successful. For some reason my update did publish yesterday so I am combing…

Billy and I are both under the weather. Olga and Mynor gave the children their money off their sponsors to buy goodies. I woke up thinking about the death of Charles Stanley so I listened to six of his sermons. I will miss his wisdom. Yesterday's update failed…

One of my top five favorite teachers, Charles Stanley, passed away on the 18th. He was 90 years old and his sermons and teaching were so very uplifting. Adela, who cares for our special needs daughter, Michelle, left for 4 days so Patty took Michele to her house…
