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
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
