Samson #1
The children began making soy milk with the mechanical cow. The children have not taken to it yet but they will in time. Dottie and I pray, read, walk in the woods and rest seeking His will. Samson was not only the strongest man on earth he was…

Sebastian’s mother is very ill and he has asked for prayer on her behalf. Tim said he counted 26 young people who were saved in Sunday’s service following Adam’s preaching. We are physically both feeling better. The down time has been good for us. Being forced to rest…

Visited a long time with Thom. Then we did our walking and spent the evening in the Word. I am seeking direction as to the next phase of the transition. Pastor Dave says he has had little response for graduation rings so if you are sponsoring a graduate…

We attended First Church of Bethlehem this morning. We are both feeling better physically. Dottie needs a miracle in her eyes. We are spending time seeking God’s will & trusting that he will send maintenance personnel and more house parents to Casa. Aroldo attended a conference on dialysis…

Caesar and Victor are moving to Vencedores to help Lee & Candy. They are very good examples. Dottie went shopping while I read, walked and meditated as I seek the Lord and some answers. I have always had trouble being 'still' before the Lord. My mind is running…

Our flights were delayed in Lake Charles & Dallas but we arrived almost on time. Thom & Shawna met us where we hooked up with their daughter for dinner and were at the cabin by 10pm. So it was a good day and I slept very well. Today…
Joshua #2
Dottie lost her Bible, I-Pad & books last Friday. As I was walking today a gentleman came to me & asked if I lost a Bible. He had found it in the grass while mowing. No damage at all even though the items were in the weather 5…

This is Independence week in Guatemala so the children are involved in parades(our marching band), sports(soccer and basketball for both male and female) beauty pageant, etc. I do not want you to worry about my physical health. It is simply stress & mental pressure. The Holy Spirit will…

We always have enjoyed going to Word of Life. Pastors Mark & Julie are such kind hosts. This was our first time at Pharr so it was nice to meet Pastor Robert and share the ministry. Twenty-five years ago next month I lost my childhood friend. He was…

Dottie and I have not yet rested. Satan just continues to attack. But today we drove to Lafayette & visited with two of our daughters & their children. Later we went to Patterson where we stayed at the Kidder’s, ate dinner with Pastor Mark & Julie. We are…

You remember Marjury in dialysis! Her catheters have failed due to fistula problems so the physicians have place a catheter in the last possible place on her body. She asked Aroldo to call and tell me hello. She is so precious and needs a miracle. Mark, a board…

My son Chad had a tree fall on him. It required 22 stitches & today we had a CAT Scan done. This is the son who broke his neck 12 years ago. You know you are old when in line at the Houston airport & when you approach…
Moses #1
We received 3 children whose mother is in the last stages of kidney/renal failure. These cases are so emotionally difficult for the children. Although I was exhausted I woke up at 4am as normal but without stress or pain. Read, worked and prayed! We began buying the vitamins…

After staff meeting we finished touching bases with various staff members as we will leave at 3:30am Tuesday from Casa. While I am gone Ezdras will preach the first Sunday followed by Adam, Jim & Gladys the next 3 Sundays. Isn’t that awesome? The kids prayed for us…

I have preached for ½ century & I can only think of one sermon that was worst than the one today. In my heart I felt as though I had what God desired but it was flat, empty & a struggle. Sadly it will be a month before…

I met with Billy & Sebastian about the next school year. Billy had a tremendous proposal. Great improvement! Also we were voted one of the top 4 schools in the state. Lee & I have been meeting for morning prayer together & I will miss that while I am…
The Mother of many nations
As you probably know I do not post individual pictures as this is now illegal in Guatemala. Our seniors began their internships which requires working in the area of their career choice for one month. My blood sugar was 109 and since there is a history of diabetes…
An idea!
Our elementary school had special activities and tomorrow our seniors will begin their internships. As I have aged I realize my physical body is slowing down. Dottie and I desire to no longer go to the USA in February & September for an entire month. Physically we drive…
Row your boat
Brandi left for the states for three weeks. Dottie had her third eye injection. While at the clinic our tub was running and flooded the bedroom and closet and poured through the ceiling. We bought more of the staple foods we have for our house while we are…
