Being light in a dark place!

I think most would remember part of my testimony of being a young man who hung out at a house with a friend and we would take every kind of drugs possible! The guy name is Elliot and I recieved a call from my best friend Mike that visit us in Germany that Eliot had died!!

It was in Eliot's dark room where light reached in and open my eyes of understanding... From that point I was saved and left that room and never to do drugs again! But Eliot's ex-wife was also a girl I went to school with, kindergarten to 8th grade.

Eliot was an atheist and I had tried sharing the gospel with in the years past but he wanted nothing to do with it...so his ex-wife wanted to have a memorial service for him and therefore back into darkness I went, as Mike encouraged me to go and that we can be light in darkness and I said lets go...so the memorial was held in a bar and many bikers were there!

The seeds were planted and Eliot's ex-wife told me that of all the friends he had that he spoke of me and even though he didn't believe in God that he respected and saw a difference in my and Martha's life and spoke good of us!

Being blessed

A brother that understands our return as being a big challenge, for he is a son of former missionaries and has committed to help many missionaries going and returning! He has a bedroom if we need it which is nice to know but he has been obedient to the Lord voice when the Lord told him to buy us a car even though he didn't have the money and when he said yes by faith to the Lord a job came and the money from it was exactly what was needed for the car! 

There is another brother who own auto body shop that paints and fixes cars that called with a little car that will save on gasoline!!

Thank you Jesus!!

Our daughter Gina and husband Adam big move!

We have been very busy helping my son in law pack their home, it seems with the packing of our home and now their home that our new ministry is moving people!

Adam left up to Colorado to buy a home and we have Gina and the kids staying with us... Yes with us as we were blessed with an apartment for two months free as someone had a contact and had to leave and had two months left so we move in and it was perfect all of our needs!! God is Good!!

Please be praying that all goes well for Adam & Gina and the kids!!
