Obviously, the story that has captured everyone’s attention is the tragedy that took place at Virginia Tech yesterday.  We certainly need to pray for all involved in that tragedy. 

Bro. Jerry sent me an e-mail yesterday that contained great news – we exceeded our Annie Armstrong Easter Offering goal by $414.60!  The $10,414.60 you gave is easily our largest gift ever to this offering – praise the Lord!  Thank you for giving to the Lord! To God be the glory – He has done great things!

Martha Patrick’s sister-in-law, Helen Swan, passed away over the weekend and her funeral service will take place today.  Please pray for Martha’s brother, James, and the entire family during this time. 

Jennifer’s mother did well during her surgery and was able to go home later in the day.  Ronnie Owens had a port put in place so he can receive his chemotherapy treatments which they hope to begin real soon. 

Our Monday was spent having lunch with Paul & Cristy Leytham, seeing Derrick, Jodie, Eugene, Luisa, and Samuel, the girls watching videos with Jodie, and having supper at Pollo Campero with Pastor Max Lara and most of his family.  I was able to squeeze in an afternoon nap too! 

Today, I will have the privilege of preaching in the chapel service at the local seminary.  Lisa and I will then join the seminary president, Tico Vargas, for lunch before heading to Antigua to meet Dana & Gina who spent the night with Adriana & Sofia and are now in school with them. 

You should see that volcano this morning – wow, our God is an awesome God!
