Today’s Bible reading – Jeremiah 8:8-9:26 Colossians 3:1-17 Psalm 78:32-55 Proverbs 24:27

I was wrong!  I thought we would be good as far as the internet connection was concerned but it has been spotty and slow at best.  It is shortly before 10:30PM (Grand Bay time) on Tuesday night, 10/6.  The internet service is barely working but it may be the best we have between now and morning.

Because of the weak internet signal, I cannot open my e-mail.  Therefore, I do not know if any updates were sent to me.  Obviously, I do not know about anyone’s condition but would just ask you to keep praying for those for whom we have been praying.

I did receive an iMessage from Elizabeth Westbrook sharing that there were ten salvation decisions last night at McKemie Place along with other decisions.  We give God the glory!

I failed to ask anyone to be responsible for opening the auditorium for prayer last night.  So, I do not know if it was open or not.  If not, my apologies.  If so, thank you to whoever was responsible for opening it.

The second day of the pastors’ conference went very well.  We taught two more breakout sessions and heard messages from Bro. Johnny Tucker and Pastor Keith Martin.  We also observed the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper.

We had pupusas for supper and they were very good.  Pupusa?  Salvadoran dish.  Good stuff.

Regular schedule this morning and tonight.  Burgers, dogs and the trimmings for the 7:30PM Bible study.

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.

Today’s Bible reading – Jeremiah 6:16-8:7 Colossians 2:8-23 Psalm 78:1-31 Proverbs 24:26

Sorry for the delay in getting this entry posted.  Had no internet yesterday and just got it.  Bro. Johnny Tucker is preaching now so this will be short and sweet.  (Do not tell him I am typing as he preaches – he is just warming up!)

Teddy Ray Jackson’s mother had a test yesterday and all was good.

The following comes from Lindsey Vice –

“Will you blog about the Chili Cook-Off/ Hallelujah Festival and announce it on Sunday’s/ Wednesdays? It’s October 31st from 5-7. If they want to participate in the chili cook-off they need to be at the church no later than 4:45 with a crock-pot full (or more) of their best chili on Saturday, October 31st. The winner will be announced at 6:45 and will receive a prize.   Anyone who wishes to participate in the chili cook-off needs to contact TJ or myself so we can prepare them a table and add them to the competition ballot. Also, we need candy, cakes and workers. There will be containers in the foyer, fellowship hall, and gym for candy.   Thanks so much!”   586-4687 or 586-3649

We safely arrived in El Salvador yesterday.  Grabbed a bite of lunch and then came straight to the conference.  We all taught a breakout session.  Pastor Terry Nappier and I preached as well.  Thank you for praying.

I will try to update later as I think we will have internet from this point forward.

I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
