Bubba & Sandra said that their little Antony is bleeding again. That child has experienced so much pain. Please make him a matter of your prayer life. Sebastian informed me we received a family of one girl and 3 boys. He also said he was doing fine. Tim…

Brother Todd asked what I was going to do to keep touching churches since I am getting older. Many of the churches who supported us in the past and had us speak at their church no longer do. Pastors move on and pastors die and as I age…

Seeing the folks at Family Life, Brothers Todd and Francis, as well as so many old friends is always a joy and a blessing. The reaction and reception was wonderful. It was our first time at Calvary Baptist in the evening and Brother James was so gracious to us.…

Dottie & I drove to Lafayette where we had dinner with our daughters, Tanya and Crissy, and our gramdchildren. The stay at Mark & Gina's this week refreshed us tremendously. When Satan came into the garden of evil and destroyed Adam and Eve he has forevermore wanted to…

The weather was so cold in Guatemala yesterday that for the first time in 27 years our children had a "snow day". No snow but freezing temperatures. The Zika virus is nowhere in Guatemala. Not one case in the entire country and we are so high up that…

Brayan has been cleared to go to school. He has been in isolation for two months but was given a clean bill of health today. Genesis had her checkup and her transplanted kidney continues to work at 100%. We began buying vitamins for the next six months. The…

Jesus is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Second to that was the day that I married Dorothy Ann Buckner. Why God blessed me with this gift of God I will never know. The ride has been bumpy and is not over yet. But I can…

Tony took us to the airport at 3am & we arrived in Lake Charles at 1:30 in the middle of Mardi Gras. The team had popsicles for the baby dorm pizza for Esperanza Up, Down and Doncillias. A new dentist came from the university & we will now have…

An overtime devil! I am leaving Tuesday from Casa at 3am and the banking transfers are out of whack. Pray that we can work between the US bank and our transfers to the Guatemalan bank we have used for years but had been sold. A large team from…

It is important for you to know that if you are interested in helping as a dorm parent for these 7-8year old boys there is only a small one bedroom apartment for the couple to live in. Sorry! The Americans began installing the windows in the new building.…

We have a need for dorm parents for a group of only 9-10 little boys ages 7-8. Pray God will touch someone's heart. The teams from Virginia and Ohio are helping us so much with various projects. Our visitors bless us so much. We began packing today although…

Bryan is still in isolation after a number of weeks and one of the younger boys had surgery on his nose, throat, etc. I have an even stronger belief that the transgression is going in the right direction. The young people who have assumed the challenges of leadership…

A very difficult day. Sebastian, Tim & I left at 5:15am and the traffic ws horrible causing us to be 35 minutes late for a meeting with the insurance company. (3 hours driving). But they were gracias & saw us late. Then I returned to another bad situation…

I beg for your prayers when you receive this and over the next few days. Bubba and Sandra's child, Anthony, who has been ill for over 2 years will be having surgery Thursday morning. It has to do with the liver and pancreas. They are both so worried…

Today was visiting day and I cannot remember any visit where so many family members came. It was great for those who had visits but sad for those who did not have anyone come see them. After church services I spent time on end-of-the-month reports and sent Oscar…
