We also got a message from Eliezar Bermudes, the author/teacher from Venezuela saying he will not be coming to the mission center in February. He still wants to come but will have to do it later on. Nicholas wrote that they picked up two students today for the Saturday carpentry class and that they have two more for the weekday classes with several others interested. I had a meeting today with Paul Mackey from First United Methodist Church. He will be coming with the March group, but also plans to make a quick trip down next month to gather information that will better prepare the group for when they arrive. Paul is a pilot with American Airlines and so it's pretty easy for him to make such a trip.
Yesterday was a red letter day for us in that we heard from all five of our kids- Jenny and Jeffrey here in Tulsa; Michael in Kentucky; Marisa in Florida; and Amy in California.

Thought for Today: Someone has said, "worry is practical atheism." I don't know about that, but I do know the more I pray the less I worry; the less I pray the more I worry.
