This picture was taken today in a village where I preached. The man in front of me to my right invited me and these folks are mostly his family. We had quite a trip getting to and from the village however. We had a flat tire getting there and on the way home on the highway the same tire came off the land cruiser causing us to swerve, yet the driver succeeded in keeping us from hitting anyone or going in the ditch on my side of the vehicle. Needless to say it was an exciting day. A man who was part of the local people who helped us retrieve the tire and get back on the road said I was lucky. I told him I have a great God and he walked away saying, no, your god is the god of luck.

We made it home late but we are all safe and very thankful,

Yesterday, Saturday, we went to Good Shepherd's Fold and visited for 5 hours. What a great place for kids to meet the love of God. Now I know why Debbie loves this place. They are hoping for her return.

This evening we will celebrate Jacob's 14th birthday and relax before we head into midterms on Tuesday. From now on there will be papers to grade and exams to write.

Thanks for all your prayers.
