Continuing with this weék´s theme, Satan has continued to mess with us! We arrived to have one of our bags end up in Florida. It would be the bag with Dan´s ashma medication and work boots in it. He´s stuck with flip-flops. Luckily, Garnet has some medical connections, so she´s going to get his medicine for him later today. The luggage we may never see again....or who knows, maybe it will be in Matehuala when we come home next Sunday. Fortunately, I separated our items between our two suitcases, so for now, we do have clean underwear and clothes. Praise God for that, right! We´ll be shopping at Super Walmart today for our food, so we can get some of those necessities and working shoes for Dan.
Poor Garnet has been dealing with Satan, too! On their way to get us, the hood of the van flipped up and shattered - but left in tact - her windshield. They secured it with tape!! Also, the brake lights are out on the trailer, so highway patrol was waiting for us when we left the airport. What a sight! A van full of Americans with a broken, sagging, taped up window and no brake lights. But we made it! With a little help from God, we should be able to get back on the road with a new windshield this afternoon. We may end up staying in Matehaula, or Garnet may have to because of Sabina....
Sabina, the wife of one of the preachers, Juan, is six months pregnant with a menopausal baby. She´s in a hospital, and they are trying to deliver....the baby is dead. She´s been there three days with induction not working, and her blood sugar is too high for a C-section. Please pray for her and her family! Also, we learned when we arrived that Gay´s neighbor´s son, a boy of about 12, has a malignant - and aggressive - brain tumor. Our hearts are breaking for him, and we pray that the doctors are able to treat this disease! He needs your prayers, too.
We have so much to accomplish, and Satan is definitely trying to stop us. Please keep praying for all of Garnet´s work, and especially for her health. She has a group of nearly 30 coming two days after we leave, VBS is quickly approaching, and patients are calling non-stop. Also, there have been terrible power outages in Zaragoza, so she can´t get online. This may be the only update we´re able to give....stay posted!
Love to my family, my kids and my church family at home!
