Only Joe Layman, Lyle Waldo, and our family showed up at our bible study last night. It was pretty sad. We were hoping more people from the neighborhood would show, but all we got was us. It was still a super study on “Fathers and Husbands”. It is great to get a sense for what the workers go through every meeting and even better to see the selfless attitude of our workers. I think about those who have been trying to share the gospel for many, many years and cannot even get a hearing. Nevertheless, it is God’s work we are doing and not our own. I am particularily appreciative of the way Lorena invites people. She is fearless and truly a wonderful partner in this life.

Al wrote me an email note yesterday. I cannot believe they are sending us a gift! Lorena was really mad. They were so great in during the trip. We are truly looking forward to them coming back again next year. It there is any way we can work it out, we would like to go down for a visit to see the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, etc.
