7am: We had a prayer and said Goodbye to Karen and Pam. The Lord rally has touched their hearts with eternity. Father-complete your work in them. Lyle, Carol, Olga, Joaquin and Ricki went to the Airport to see them off and bring Joseph and Frank home. They have returned from their conference with the Pan American Missionaries in Medellin.
Yesterday was a hard day, Rod called about the money that the Church owes us , Joseph called and said that his wallet was stolen and John scalded his foot with hot coffee and we had to take him to the Doctor. He has 2nd degree burns. The Lord, really touched him because he didn't really cry last night and woke up happy and bouncy this morning.
Thank you Jesus for your faithfulness to us. For a neighbor who is a Doctor and so much more. Amen.
I remember this part of our years in Colombia. It was a hard time, especially when John burned his foot. I had been ill for almost 6 months. It pains me sometime to go back now and realize what kind of an emotional price Debbie paid for us to live there. However, I trust that it provided part of the "process" that formed her into such a beautiful person at the end of her life. What a life lesson for all of us who wish to escape from these temporary light afflictions.
