Prayer Letter 09 April

Dear Ones in Christ,

Dear Ones in Christ,

Two days ago I went for my annual eye exam. The right eye

was fine but when I closed that eye and looked out of the left

eye I was shocked. I could not even read the largest letter on

the chart. Everything was blurry and hazy. After all the exams

the doctor concluded I had a large cataract over the eye.

I had not noticed it because I had apparently been depending

on the right eye which has always been the better of the two.

The machine for measuring the eye could not give a reading on

it so the doctor had to use another method to do the necessary

measuring. We plan to have the removal of the cataract May 4th.

Please keep that matter in prayer.

Because of Verna's fractured vertebras, she is now four inches

shorter having lost that much height by the bones giving way.

We are thankful that she is making some progress with the bone

pain decreasing but the Lupus has been causing much pain due

to weather changes. We had a light snow this morning and it is

39 degrees outside. We have a fire going in the fireplace insert

by which we heat the house. We have burned almost 12 cords

of wood thus far this year. We are going to have to get another

insert in the fireplace due to two cracks in the present insert

which allows smoke to escape into the house. Please pray with

us about this financial need. We are praising the Lord for continued

answers to prayer! I think we have mailed out 17 or 18 mailbags

costing about $5,000.00. I have more waiting to mail and just

this week the Lord sent in over $1,300.00 which makes me want

to shout! It is just amazing how our Lord moves upon the hearts

of you saints to invest in sending forth the gospel!

Thank you so very much for your part in helping us send out the

good news both by spoken and written words. It is so exciting to

"Watch God Work" and to have a small part in what He is doing

for His glory!

Tomorrow I will be meeting a couple of men from Grace Church,

a Baptist church in Durango. Pastor Ross phoned me that some

of the saints in the church are seeking to be involved in a practical

way sending out the gospel. Thus, I am going to be meeting with

them to explain about the mailing ministry which they are excited

about doing. Another answer to prayer, Praise the Lord! Thus, those

of you who have sent us literature in the past can start saving

literature to send to us again for mailings overseas.

Please continue to keep us both and the ministry in your prayers!

In Christian Love

Bob & Verna
