Dear
Churches & Friends.
Greetings to you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world who loved us and
washed us from our sins in His own blood. Glory be unto His Name. John
1:29, Revelation 1:5, I Peter 1:18-20
I visited Fort Simpson once each month of this quarter and held weekend
services. Most of the time no one attended the services except the McAdam
family, Grace, Christina and Danielle. Sister Grace is adjusting well,
growing in the Lord and receiving His blessings as she faithfully serves
Him. She
considers
it a great blessing to be able to tithe, before she was not allowed to.
Continue to pray for her as she would like to be in Fort Smith where she
could attend the Mission and be useful in its work, but
she needs a well paying job to support her and
the girls.
I had to go to the Subaru dealership in Edmonton to have some work done
on the car which proved to be quite expensive. We had to have the tires
replaced also. With the price of gasoline, it has been up to one dollar
a liter, now it averages between 90.9 to 92.9 cents per liter here in the
North. In Edmonton it was
65.9 to 68.9. This puts increased pressure on the budget.
On Feb. 19th I was in Yellowknife to be with Sister Christina and her mother.
When she was to see a bone specialist concerning her spine, she has scoliosis.
Sister Christina has seen this Dr. over the years. she is fifteen, and
they would do nothing but take x-rays. Then the mother continued to ask
if there wasn't something they could do. The Dad would never go with them
nor show any interest in the child, neither would the Dr. show any concern
for the Mother's questions. Therefore I went with them, saw the x-rays
and was shocked at the curvature of her spine. I asked the Dr. questions
as to why he hadn't given the mother any answers to her questions. He tried
to brush me off but I insisted we have another Dr. examine her and the
x-rays they had taken over the years. Finally we have an appointment with
a Dr. in Edmonton who specializes with problems of the back and spine on
April 24. I would ask you to be much in prayer for Christina and the Dr.
that she be not crippled later in life. Thank you.
I mentioned Tanya Nyberg in my last letter. The devil in many ways has
been giving her a rough time. She feels the need to leave Rosetown. Sask.
She would like to come to Fort Smith where she could attend the Mission
and receive baptism. Would you pray for her to this end, and that the Lord
would direct her as to His will.
We had a wedding on March 30 at 4:00 PM of a young couple who addend the
Mission but not on a regular basis. He asked if I would teach them the
marriage lessons I have prepared over the years. I do not marry couples
who do not or will not take time to learn what their responsibility to
God and to one another is.
May our dear Lord's blessings rest on you and yours, causing you to bring
Glory to His Name, honoring His Word and faithfully sharing the Word of
Truth with others. We are so thankful and appreciative of your prayers,
interest and support in so many ways of His work here.
By His Grace - Our Love
