“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
Today marks the sixty fourth wedding anniversary of my parents. Of course, this is the first time in those years that one parent has not been present as dad passed from this life in May. I am sure this will be a day of reflection for mama. Thoughts and prayers appreciated.
I am going with the “no news is good news” as far as the home front is concerned.
“Caring for Castlen” is the Friendship family’s emphasis during November. Tennis shoes, socks and underwear are the most needed items. Bring any donations of these items (new) and place them in the auditorium foyer. Missions begin at home and this is a wonderful opportunity for the Friendship family to show this fact.
On GRACE Mountain our Thursday began with a delicious breakfast cooked by my wife, Lisa. She out did herself as he cooked biscuits with plain flour. Gravy, a hash brown casserole and fruit made for a very good and filling meal. The girl can cook!
We had a brief devotion and then the work began. Ross, Larry & the Rifleman began working in the upstairs bathrooms. All of the leaks were identified and those that had not been repaired already by Soy & crew were taken care of the terrific trio.
Bro. Abel led several other teams members in hosting two soccer clinics that involved around ninety children. I am told that the clinics were a success.
The container arrived and was in position to be unloaded shorty after 3:00PM. The truck could not go up the hill so it parked below at the school gate. The items were off loaded into trucks and then driven up the hill to the school cafeteria. It was completely unloaded at 4:20PM. Thank God that is now behind us and thank Him for getting it here safe and sound. By the way, it was right on time. Is that not just like God?
The team enjoyed supper at Las Antorchas. Upon returning to the mission house, the team mixed and poured concrete in the four upstairs bathrooms finishing shortly after 11:00PM.
Today will be breakfast, devotion, feeding the men working on the mountain, feeding the folks working in the Chimaltenango dump, building three houses and continuing the plumbing work in the mission house. Pray that all goes well.
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
