TIED UP IN STRING

This has been a full week for us here in Maracaibo. We´ve had a wonderful week, overflowing with blessings and an amazing time of meetings in the church, we had a full house each and every night. Our Pastor, Pastor Rice, preached five fabulous sermons and we saw many visitors and conversions each night.

We tremendously enjoyed our visit with Pastor and were sad to see him leave, but we were much encouraged and are truely thankful for his sacrifice in coming to us here, in Venezuela.

Pastor was gracious to take an armful of gifts that I´ve been busy making recently, tied up and packaged, ready for gifting. I have some ideas for new projects that I will begin soon, to get me ready for our visit to the states this summer. The time is fast approaching and I have several things I´d like to complete before then.

Thank you all for your patience during my absence this past week. In addition to the busyness, we continue to have computer problems, so this limits our computer time. Hoping to reslove this soon.

Anyway, I haven´t forgotten about the little story and pictures, I will get to that soon, until then , dear friends, may God bless you, as He does me...

Glad you had a good time with Pastor. When Pastor came to Lynnwood, we felt like we had conference. There is so much to glean from him and his ministry and fellowship. It's so refreshing!!

What a wonderful week it sounds you had.

I have to wonder if how you and Ling (among many others I'm sure) feel about Pastor has been shared with him.

He sounds like a lovely person who has a profound affect on people.

Oh Michaelene, I tell him often what a blessing he is. He and his wife are both just the best, they are several years younger than me, and are just so humorous and fun. He and his wife, and 4 children have been back from the mission field for a few years now, they were in Africa for 9 years. He blessed us by carrying an overflowing suitcase of goodies for us, it looked like the one Jorge brought back in February. Pastor is so good he was even willing to sacrifice room in his own suitcase so that he could bring everything (AND MORE!) that we requested.
