Had a good crowd this morningat Blum, TX for a presentation on the work in La Palma. Will make another presentation in Covington, TX tonight.

Monte is reportedly doing better--swelling going down and color better in affected area. Wanting to get out and do stuff but sort of limited and stuck at home for a while. People will come to him for teaching instead of him going to them. New classes start at the Bible Institute soon. He can attend those with his leg elevated.

Monte got medicines for the blood clot and is resting at home in La Palma. No hospitalization was needed.

Sorry for the lack of blogs lately. Lori, Ruth, and Monte have written such neat articles on their blogs that I felt like mine was not needed.

Now, I have a request of each of you. Monte has swelling and pain in one leg that may be a blood clot. He visits a very good doctor tomorrow morning, and may need to go to a hospital in San Salvador. Please pray for a favorable outcome for this situation. Ralph

All four walls are now up and the stucco application has begun on the new auditorium at Ocotepeque.

The walls are going up on the new Ocotepeque building. The auditorium side door is to the left.

In case you missed them on the previous posting, here are the blogs of the folks living in La Palma now:
