Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. We are so thankful for you and your prayers and giving. We covet your prayers as we face the challenges of life on the mission field. One of the most difficult challenges is that of losing precious time on daily tasks. I have had to take the washing machine apart several times to work on it; since it is washing, yet not spinning, the kids help us wring out the clothes by hand and hang them on the line. We have had some precious times, though, working together as a family! When the appliances, plumbing, and house repairs that need constant attention weigh us down, it is a comfort to know our God is in control.
Despite all the setbacks, we praise the Lord for the time He has allowed us to witness and to see the fruit of our labors. Recently, two young ladies and Hector`s family made it to Brazil safely. We are thankful for the opportunity to reach more doors and reach out further with the helpers God has given us. Please pray as the enemy seems to throw anything he can their way to try to get us all down. We have spent hours at doctor visits day after day and week after week and even visits to the ER and hospital this month. Please pray for Diana, as she has had some concerning health issues. We have taken this as an opportunity to share the Gospel with so many doctors, nurses, and patients who have readily accepted our tracts and invitations to church.
