MONDAY, 10/15/12
I am writing this entry on Sunday night as I have much to do in the morning – more on that later.
We had a good Sunday – God is good! We saw two professions of faith and one join the Friendship family by letter. We fully recognize that God gives the increase and we give Him the glory! The attendance was good and the spirit was excellent.
Many thanks to those who stayed for the Hallelujah Festival meeting. We need bags of wrapped candy. You can place the bags in the bucket in the fellowship hall.
Lynne Watson will have surgery today (Monday) around noon. They are going to remove a section of her skull and go in to correct the spot that is bleeding. She will be in NICU for at least one night and, if things go well, she “could” be discharged from the hospital on Wednesday. Bro. Chris is going pray with Lynne before surgery and stay with the family during surgery as Lynne is very active in our student ministry.
Visited with Bea Unrue on Sunday afternoon. What a delightful lady. She has pneumonia in her left lung. They are pumping her full of antibiotics. I told Bea that Bro. Jerry or Bro. Kerry would be checking on her daily.
John Cole broke his wrist and they set it. It was not a surgical procedure but they did put him out. Pray it heals quickly.
Pray for the pastors’ conference in Guatemala this week (Tuesday – Thursday). Eddie Burdette, Doug Chappelle, Abel Garcia, Clint Landry, Trey Lightner, Mark Mast and Terry Rainey will be preaching/teaching during this conference. Dr. Tico Vargas is overseeing the entire conference. I appreciate these men being involved. Also, I appreciate those who have given scholarships toward this conference and the upcoming one in El Salvador.
By the time most of you read this I will be on a plane from Gulfport to Atlanta to Guatemala City. This time the airfare out of Mobile was too steep. Bro. Jerry will be preaching on Wednesday and Dale Bosarge is teaching the 8:00PM Bible study for me. Again, I am grateful to those who fill in during my absence.
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
