Pastor's Blog

Phillip graciously sent me a message that I received early this morning sharing that his mother passed from this life around 11:00PM last night, 10/4/18.  Obviously the arrangements are incomplete at this time.  I simply ask that you join me in praying for Phillip and his family as they walk through this valley.  Phillip and Claire are an amazing young couple and we are blessed to have them as a part of the Friendship family.

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

I am writing this on Thursday night because of the time difference between Guatemala and Alabama.  (Ten of our thirteen blog readers live in Alabama so that is the official time of this blog – FYI)  So, I said that to say that I do not have any updates.  Going with the “no news is good news” scenario.

I do know that Phillip’s mother continues to need our prayer support.

Kirk & Michelle Lightfield’s grandson, Brayden, did well through his surgery.  The tumor was removed.  He remains in the hospital recovering.  Keep praying.

Lisa, Deidra and I boarded a bus at 6:15AM in San Salvador on Thursday heading to Guatemala City.  We arrived in GC right at 11:30AM.  Oscar Solis picked us up in a rental vehicle and took us to the airport where we would wait on Lisa’s sister, Kim, to arrive via Delta.  Once we got Kim then we headed to GRACE Mountain making one stop at San Martin in San Lucas.  We got to GRACE Mountain around 4:00PM.  I left soon thereafter going to take care of a very important matter – getting a haircut and shave – heavenly!

I met everyone else (minus Soy) in the mall for supper and the arcade.  It was a good evening of food and fellowship.

Well, the Dodgers won the first one against Leslie Hacker’s Braves.  Two more to in order to advance.  We shall see.

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