Odds and Ends

  1. We took our first load of furniture and boxes up to Texas this last weekend.  God was good and we had no problems passing the border.  We’ve chosen to do a few trips in our own vehicles rather than a single trip in a large moving truck to avoid having to go through a lot of trouble to get permissions to pass through customs (US & Mexico).  Lord willing, in two more loads we’ll get it all up.  Right now we’re planning on officially moving on July 9th, although I may have to stay a little while longer to finish up some things here.  Please pray for strength and wisdom for the move.
  2. Our house sale is progressing.  We’ve provided the buyers and their bank with all the paperwork they’ve asked for, so Lord willing, in a few more days we’ll know if the bank approves the buyer’s loan.  Please pray for this!
  3. This Saturday I’ll be preaching in the university’s graduation ceremonies.  Please pray for me as I challenge our graduates and students one last time.
  4. Please pray for Elsa Alanís, a friend of ours and sister of our church’s former pastor, Chuy Alanís.  Elsa was diagnosed with a brain tumor a few weeks ago.  She was scheduled for surgery yesterday, but the procedure was postponed for today.  We will post updates as we receive more information.

UPDATE: We’ve been told that Elsa’s surgery went well and that doctors expect a full recovery.  Praise the Lord!

Thank you all for your prayers!  May God richly bless you.

Missions quote:

“At the moment when I put the bread and wine into those dark hands, once stained with the blood of cannibalism, but now stretched out to receive and partake the emblems of the Redeemer’s love, I had a foretaste of the joy of Glory that well nigh broke my heart to pieces.  I shall never taste a deeper bliss till I gaze on the glorified face of Jesus Himself.”

–John G. Paton, 1824-1907, Pioneer Missionary to New Hebrides
