THURSDAY, 8/4/11
Darrell McMann will have outpatient surgery this morning. Pray that all will go well.
Mitchel’s surgery went well but he remains in the hospital. Not sure when he will go home as I was told it could be today or a couple of days. Pray for his recovery.
Amy Walker “may” get to go home from the hospital today. Carla Kyser is doing okay in receiving her new chemo. Belvin McDonald got a good report regarding his cancer as has his daughter in Florida.
I met Tom Compagner in December of 1998 on my first trip to Guatemala. Little did I know at that time that he and I would become great friends or that through him I would make many, many wonderful friends and supporters of GRACE Ministries. I met Tom’s dad, Mr. Milford Compagner, in December of 1999 and he quickly became one of those friends and supporters. Mr. Mil went to be with the Lord yesterday as he passed from this life while sleeping. I cannot begin to tell you how many hogs Mr. Mil paid for as we have hosted an annual “pig roast” for GRACE Ministries. He not only paid for the hogs but was always there to help roast it and then pull the meat. Great friend!
Lord willing, Lisa and I will fly out late this afternoon and will get back home in the wee hours Sunday morning. If you want to read Mr. Mil’s obit and see his picture then just go to www.ynetmafh.com. You can leave a condolence there too. Pray for Tom and his family during this time of sorrow.
Yes, I read the story where the judge in Guatemala has ruled that a young adopted girl must be returned because she was kidnapped from her birth mother. That is why the international adoptions from Guatemala were stopped several years ago. It is a sad situation.
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
