I spent much of the day yesterday painting in the new duplex/parsonage. We got most of it done; the last big project is to furnish it. Then the Batistas can move in. Last night was our first organized prayer meeting at the church. Pastor Nelson led the service with Scripture reading, and then gave everyone a prayer assignment to be pondered and shared. The meeting started promptly at 5:50 and ended just as promptly at 6:50 (such promptness is seldom seen here).There were 10 people in attendance. We are enjoying working with the Batistas. In that regard, Cheryl said today, “We are starting to see the answers to prayers we prayed 13 years ago.”…We were hearing that Luis Paz had arranged to rent the other half of the pastor’s duplex to some Mormon missionaries. After considering the potential danger to the church and deciding that furthermore we could use the space, we asked him to rent it to us instead; and he agreed….We interviewed a man for security guard today. While he was in my office he looked at a picture of Saint Francis Hospital and said, “I know that place”. It turns out he has spent time in most of the larger cities in Oklahoma.
