Dear Pastors, Churches, Friends & Family, 

Greetings in Jesus’ Name!  Thanks to each of you that help us in our labor for the Lord and the lost.  God has been very good to us, and through your prayer, He has greatly helped us lately with some physical matters.  Many of you knew that Mary had developed a seemingly serious digestive problem recently.  It turned out to be blockage by a bad case of parasites which was taken care of at no charge by a doctor.  My driver’s license expired in August so I had to take a written & driving test on the Texas border to renew it.  I failed the vision test and had to see an optometrist.
