Hi once again from Puerto Rico. After a quick furlough to the US to visit a couple of churches in NW Illinois, we are back on the island. The good folk in Community Christian Church in Moline, IL and Countryside Christian Church in Port Byron, IL certainly made us feel at home and welcome. We extend our genuine thanks to them.

With our return to PR we seemed to have brought with us a nasty cold. First I and then Mary have taken our turns shuffling around the house feeling pretty much under the weather. I think I am beginning to mend finally. Mary, unfortunately, had to continue to push to get things ready for Father's Day here at the church. There was a dinner and program to plan. I felt sorry for her because I knew she beginning to feeling under the weather. Tonight she crashed and went to bed early. Perhaps tomorrow will be a new venue for her.

The church service went well although the attendance was inexplicably down somewhat. After Father's Day gifts were given to the men, three of our ladies extolled the virtues of their husbands. I have to admit, all three men were deserving of their wife's praise. After church there was a dinner of rice, beans, salad, roast chicken and dessert.

Tonight Mary and I sat down and reserved our flight for the upcoming missions trip to the Dominican Republic. The dates are July 23-31. Details are falling in place for that upcoming event. We hope it will be a blessing to many.

I shall pause here. God bless you all.

Johnathan and Mary
