David's trip to Africa has been good. Long and tiring but very timely. He and Pete will return to the US Thursday night. They will arrive in Memphis and hopefully David will be back in KY on Friday. We will be leaving on Sunday for TN to do two different Mission conferenes that will go from Oct 24th- Oct 30th then on to MS and Ecuador. It is rare that David and I travel without the other but this trip has given me time in KY to spend time with family and get some much needed things done here such as preparing us to be on the road and in the air traveling for the next full month. We covet your prayers....you know we aren't getting any younger!!!
Please pray for our staff in Haiti. They are doing a wonderful job but the load is heavy. They just finished a team of 10 and all went well. They showed the Jesus film in a new area in TiTanyen and 40 people accepted Jesus as their personal savior. PTL! They have another team coming in about 10 days. I know they will need this time to catch up on all their administrative things too. They continue to work on the construction of the new church in TiTanyen and they have started another home for a family still living in a tent.

David is flying to South Africa today. He and Pete Gibson ...from our home office...will be visiting several of our missionaries in Zambia and South Africa. Please pray for them as they make this journey. We know it will be an encouragement for those they are going to see. I will be staying in KY while David is traveling.
The last two months I have been filling in for the nurses in the Burn Clinic...first Sheryl...while they took a much needed time out and then for Linda as she and Glen took some time to visit family and take care of some business. Burns are such a terrible injury. It is so difficult to watch the suffering of these patients but so rewarding to see their burns heal. We have many patients for 3,4, 5 months and more. You really get attached to them. We have a 94 year old lady that was burned on both her legs from her knees down. Her family has been so faithful to bring her every day. Some days it took four of us to minister to her needs. What a strong lady...both in the physical and in the spiritual. Many days we sang to calm her as we dressed her legs.
Sept 21st-26th.Sally Betro and Teresa from Atlanta, GA came to do a teacher's conference. What a blessing to have people pour their lives into our teachers and give them teaching tips and of course encouragement.
It is always hectic trying to leave Haiti for a few weeks....trying to get everything caught up so the load won't be so heavy on those we leave. David and I will be in the US for several weeks. When he returns from South Africa we have couple of days to do his laundry and head out again.
Oct 24- 25th we will be in a Missions Conf. in Cleveland, TN at Lee University
Oct 26-30 we will be at Christ Church Mission conference in Nashville, TN. Return to KY to repack and go to Tupelo on Nov 2nd for a Mission conference and GO Board meeting. We should be back in KY on Nov 6th and then we both fly to Ecuador Nov. 10-21st. We have several missionary units to visit during these days. REST?????
