The count-down

Greetings everyone! The crazy days are well under way as I prepare to leave for the States. I will be gone for a while this time, so it requires a more lengthy exit plan... including moving the office!

The last few days have been busy with other projects, but today is moving day. The satellite dish will come down shortly and be moved to the temporary office where it will be used while I am away.

Please pray that all the details would come together, that the re-installation of the satellite connection would go well, and that my last couple days would be blessed with peace and not hecticness (is that a word???)!!!

Busy days update

Greetings once again! The weather has cooled off some, comparatively speaking. It is still hot, but not quite so extreme, and we are grateful! In fact, this morning we are getting some nice rain! Of course, we were hoping for dry weather for the agenda of the day, but who can argue with God's plans?

Time is of the essence these days as we rush to get as much accomplished as we can before I leave for the States on the 24th of May (next week... yikes!!). We have had some good progress with the pig project, including a meeting with the pastors and the agriculture department, interesting contacts to help with the processing plant, and various land possibilities. We also got around to see most everyone's pigs. That was encouraging, some of them are doing really well! I am confident that it will all come together in God's time and way, it is certainly too big for me!

Bible studies continue and I will miss them so much when I am gone! There is a special delight sharing the discoveries of people finding certain things in the Scripture for their first time!

Please pray for Clifford's dad. He had surgery this past Wednesday for a condition that has been troubling him for 13 years now. Please pray for a quick recovery and complete healing.

One of the other pastors, Bro. Benito Canti, needs prayer for his wife. She has been sick for some time, and is struggling to recover from a broken wrist. Please lift her up in your prayers!

Off to the village for Bible study!

It is Saturday already! Time seems to just fly by so quickly! Weather here continues to be very hot (right now at 10:20 in the morning we already have a heat index of 99). We had some heavy rains this week, so that was a great blessing!

We are headed out shortly to have Bible study in Pueblo Viejo, after we take a detour to Punta Gorda to print the lessons. Our printer gave out, so we have to pay for the printing in PG for now. Today we will be studying the promise of a redeemer that was given clear back in Genesis, as well as taking a look at Cain and Abel. Please be in prayer for open hearts and willing minds this afternoon, as well as safety in travels!

Tomorrow afternoon we will have Bible study in San Jose, where we will continue our fascinating discussion of Abraham. We have been having some really good interaction in these studies! Last week we moved the studies out of the church and into homes. This week it will be in the home of a precious lady whose husband is not a believer. We pray for his salvation often! Perhaps the study in his home will somehow touch his heart. Will you join us in prayer for Miquela's husband this weekend?

Well, I better get ready to go... May your weekend be blessed!
