Hi everyone. Last week was a busy week. So much of the time was spent preparing for a concert by Claudina Brinn, one of the best known puertorican female Christian singers on the island. We had begun to make contact with her 4-5 months ago and were delighted when she agreed to come and sing last Friday. Radio spots were produced and played, Eight-hundred tracts were given out in the area, and a few hours were spent announcing the event with a loudspeaker system.

We also made preparations for the children who would be present. A Christian clown was contacted to provide programming for the children. As best as we could count the attendance was between 150-170. One person made a commitment to the Lord and many people passed to the front for prayer.

Saturday, Santos Torres and I traveled to San Juan for a camp meeting. The camp organization is in the process of redoing the by-laws...a slow, tedious process. We left early Saturday and got home in the late afternoon...tired.

Services were good yesterday. The service was robust and the attendance was pretty close to normal. Then, yesterday afternoon, three of the men in the church, as well as myself, took the youth on an outing. We made it home around 7:00 PM just in time to try one of Mary's homemade cookies. Life can be rather pleasant can't it?
