Dear Friends and Loved Ones,

Greetings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus!

    It is a joy to report that all is going well in the Children’s Home.  We received a newborn, just hours old during the month of September.  He is growing and Ernestina and Jose have taken him in as their own.  That makes two babies they have taken in.  They get plenty of love and attention from them and the children in the Home.

    The Mission work is going very well.  Missionary, Jerry Shaw and his wife Delia are doing a great job.  We now have a national pastor and the work is really growing.  We recently had five saved!

     The young people from the Home and Mission recently were in a Singing and Bible competition, and won.  I’m very proud of them and so thankful they are growing in the Lord.  I’m really very excited over what the Lord is doing here.  We’ve been at the Children’s Home for 28 years and in Mexico for 30 years.  It’s wonderful to know the Lord is still working.

    I am enjoying driving the van the Lord gave me through Bill and Judy Campbell.  It drives like a Cadillac to me after driving the old van for so long.  It is really nice and I am truly thankful for it.

    We had an added expense for school uniforms of $700 in November.  We had not planned on this and it does not fit into our regular budget.  So, I’d ask you to pray concerning this.  Also, Christmas is here and we’d appreciate it if you would remember the Children’s Home in Mexico when you give this year.  Remember, the children in the Home depend on you for their Christmas.

    I trust all of you will have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.  Until next time, I remain your missionary, because He was born.

Your Missionary for His Sake.
