Last Sunday my Aunt Helen and Uncle Bob came for a 2 week visit. It has been so wonderful to have them here and have them join us in various aspects of the ministry.
A phrase that Helen uses often is "That was a God Thing" and there have been many times through out the past few days that we have seen that to be very true.
Some examples are:
Before Helen and Bob came they prayed that God would clearly direct them to know what to bring that would be the most helpful. Among other things one thing they thought they should bring was thread. Wow, what a God thing. The main job that Helen has been working on is making sheets for the bunk bed mattresses that we will be using in Atrel for visitors. When we started I discovered that I had no white thread for this job, but Helen had brought several spools of white thread. God knew I needed white thread before I did.
One simple thing that God provided just for fun was balloons. A school related activity required ballons and we didn't have enough for the project. With their gift of balloons, we had great fun with our school project. It was a great happy "God thing."
Yesterday they spent the day sorting a large shipment of medical supplies. When the hospital administrator came and looked over what they were doing she was very pleased that they were willing to help out in this way. It truly was a "God thing" that Helen was here with great medical knowledge to help the hospital know what they had in this large shipment.
Bob has been a great help with the mission house that we are repairing/remodeling. He has been willing to do anything and a very willing servant.
It really has been a "God thing" that they decided to come and see the work first hand and join us for a couple weeks.
Tomorrow we are heading to Atrel. We will be visiting friends in Anse Rouge and then taking them along as we go to Atrel. Our goal is to decide on the placement of our house along with a small "bunk house" and outhouses. We are praying that God clearly shows us where to have these building.
We are eagerly anticipating more "God Things" during the next 2 days of our trip to Atrel.
