April 21st, Wednesday

We've had an eventful couple of days...actually a lot of fun, and tons of work, but interesting, to say the least.

Sunday, as I said, Dale preached two services at Pastor Codo's church. And then went on to teach at English Bible Fellowship. I know he did a great job there, and no, I'm not prejudiced. Several others came up and asked why we don't have him teach more. Well, we would but he's not here.On Monday, PRAISE THE LORD, we got the container. I have to include here a photo of our guard. He traveled with every piece of equipment on that he had, plus a shotgun, rifle and a pistol. All that was missing was a riot shield. He's a nice guy, though. Many people came to get their things off the container and we have distributed a lot since then, too. So, the food and scriptures are moving out. A HUGE praise item.Tuesday we had airport while Dale and Jim built our shelves, both in the house and in the dorm storage room. What a difference they make. Now I am sorting through things and getting rid of stuff I've had forever and don't need. Oh, at the airport we watched as a special US marshal took into custody, from the Haitian police, a drug dealer that had fled the US. He was on his way back to the US to prison. A bit of excitement for us anyway.

Yesterday (Tuesday) was also our 47th anniversary. Can't believe it's been that long. Sure makes Don seem old!!! (Yes, I know, me, too!) Then that night, Dale, Jim, Vero and Cequer went to Pastor Saint-Ange's church. Dale taught on prayer and the different aspects of it. Listening to Vero tell it, everyone was thrilled. They said they had never heard some of the things he taught. Even the pastor was taking notes. To wrap up the evening, we had a surprise visitor. Years ago, while working at the airport, we came in contact with a young lad. He was helping out the ground man (Tom) for MAF at the time. We ended up calling him Ti-Tom. He was just a little bugger. Well, Tom put him in school, and he grew into a fine Christian young man. He got married and had two children. And although he lived near us, we didn't see him for years. He had moved to the US and now lives in Florida. He came back for a short visit. It was such a neat surprise to see him. We sat and shared with him for a long time. He remembered our children and was happy to be able to see Dale while he was here. What a great end to an evening for us. He will be coming to have a meal with us this evening. God was so good to bring us such neat memories.

Need to get back to work and get the rest of the things cleaned out from my computer room. (All the things from the laundry room came in here). And we hope to be able to go to town this afternoon yet. We'll see. We sure have been kept busy, but it's been a GOOD busy.

Don is a news hound and tells me all the things going on all over the world. It just keeps bringing things closer and closer to our Lord's return. We are right now walking in the prophesies the Bible talks about. Things are happening that were predicted so long ago. No, we will not know the day or time, but the season is drawing very near. Are YOU ready for the Lord to return? We are and we are looking forward to His return. Yes, there may be trials and tribulations, but with the Lord's hand to hang on to, well make it through. We pray you have that same confidence and knowledge. Till we meet again, keep Jesus at the front of all you do and say. He truly is our strength and shield.
