July 19, 2010

Hi everyone. Wow, July is quickly disappearing before our eyes. Days have been busy beginning with an operation on Mary's foot (bunion). This was planned clear back in March after her first foot surgery was successful. Until Mary can recover (so far so good) I am in charge of the home/house so I have had to reduce my load somewhat for a little while.

Nevertheless, we have been busy with church work; planning, preaching, teaching, visitation and counseling. In addition to these responsibilities we planned for a group of seventeen from Louisville, KY who were with us two days, the 14 and 15 of this month. They were a hard working group who took on projects at three different locations. They painted a house, helped paint our church building and did some repairs and painted at a children's home. We, as well as one of our church members, were the cooks and "gophers". This group blessed us in an additional way by bringing with them money that covered many of the material costs for the projects.

As for the church, attendance has been down. Every July it happens as people leave on vacation. Nevertheless, services have been lively. I am team preaching three messages with three of the church members who are gifted in speaking and teaching. The reception has been good and interest high.

That is it for this time. Thanks for reading the blog.
