Our car is running great and getting excellent fuel mileage
(kilometrage) after the overhaul. Praise God!
Eddison’s health is also great now. We praise Him and thank
the doctor and medicine that helped him to get well. It turns out that the
slight case of asthma was aggravating the chronic sinusitis and rhinitis to the
point that neither was getting well. Once the asthma was treated, the other
symptoms went away. We know this is temporary, but we thank God.
We also won the case hands down against the telephone
company. The judge ruled completely in our favor, sentencing the defendant to
dismiss all charges of fines and fees against us and to pay us punitive damages
of twice what they were charging us illegally. This helped us pay the overhaul
on our car. The more we live, the more proof we have that Romans 8:28 is true.
We continue living and working and praying and knowing that whatever comes our
way, the Lord will handle it. Praise Him!!!!
The annual evangelistic campaign went very well. We had good
attendance overall and had dozens of first time visitors. Please pray with us
that the churches carry through with the contacts and help them become strong
and faithful Christians.
A blessing of the campaign for our family is the visit of
our kids and grandkids. Lashonda, Vinicius and Adam came as leaders of the
campaign group from Freed-Hardeman
University. Unfortunately
Lashonda had to return to FHU for a summer course that begins tomorrow, so she
could not stay but a couple of days after the campaign was over. Vinicius and
Adam remained, however, and plan to stay until June 6, Lord willing.
May the Lord continue blessing you and keeping you in His care.

Awesome story with the phone company! Glad it worked out for you.
I’m working on a visit for next year. Let’s start talking about scheduling options.

We received a message from the judicial system yesterday that the phone company had appealed the decision. This means that we will be in court over this for many months, and possibly even years. We were in hopes that that money would come in soon to help pay bills and get us out of the scrape that we are in. Scratch that!!
I’m already excited about your visit next year. We plan to be on furlough from Nov 2008 to Feb 2009. When would work best for you?
