Sunday evening

Hello again,
Not a lot of news going on here. We have had so much rain it is curtailing everything. We are really praying it stops now, since our container is due this week. We need the ground to dry out so the semi can get into the place we need it. If not, we'll work something out, but it sure would be nice to have it drier here for a bit.

Don is now off crutches and walking with "the boot". I have to admit that it has slowed him down some. But I know he is so frustrated with things. Had three of "our boys" come and help me clean out containers and depot and dorm, to put the items from the container. It was a long job, but good to have it out of the way. And Don wanted so much to be out there helping. Keep him in prayer.

Our service at English Bible Fellowship (EBF) was good tonight. A small group, but some eye opening comments on scripture. Isn't it great how God works with His word? You can read and read, but then all of a sudden, a new light dawns and you see it in a new way. God is so good. Hearing the praises from so many of the missionaries on how God is working is inspiring. And sharing prayer needs brings us all closer, too. Our family at EBF are great prayer warriors, as we know a lot of you are.

A few prayer requests for this week. T & A got a bit of bad news on Thursday. They moved our new grandson backward in the system. Not only him, but many others. We need a LOT of prayer for God to intervene and get things moving in the right direction again, and fast, too. J needs to be home with his family, and the system here is preventing it. I mean, everything is legal and he is theirs, but they can't take him home without that passport. So, please pray for this to be resolved. Thanks.

Another request is for the container that is to come this week. Pray that it comes on time, and that customs clears it quickly, and it can be delivered quickly. These processes drag out so much. There are a lot of people waiting for this container to come. Most don't even know the help in on the container, but they know they have to wait till Don has food again. Pray for this too.

Something I have not mentioned in a while is Missionary Flights (MFI). They do so much for so many. The hurricane that hit Nicaragua (Felix) did so much damage. We praise God that MFI was able to fly in and help out. Check out their web site and go to "Up to the Minute" and read the story. (www.missionaryflights.org). You'll enjoy reading that, plus a whole lot of other things they have done. Also, keep them uplifted in prayer. It seems like we all fight a spiritual battle when serving Him. The Lord can overcome all of these, if we but pray.

As always, we lift you all up in prayer. May you continue to walk in the truth of God's love.
Karen (for all of us)
