Helping Grandmother walk to the clinic! Sometimes we forget how blessed we are.

Some things we could use if they were donated to us: a gas range that works, and some roaster pans. These would be for the fellowship room in the new building being built for the church in La Palma. We can ship them down in May. Please let us know if you can help.

We also want sewing patterns for men's and ladies and childrens clothing. They need to be complete so we can teach the ladies how to use them.

A portable PA system that can be used for preaching in the park or in remote villages will soon be needed.

A very good exercise bicycle for the young lady who is learning to walk at age 23. She needs a better bike to build leg muscles.

We need more school desks - large or small.

Need some folding tables and folding or stacking chairs.

God bless you,
Ralph

We are home from the Tulsa workshop. There were at least 15 La Palma travelers at the event. We all had a great time and enjoyed the fellowship as well as the recruiting work. We have several persons very interested in going with us on future trips-some as early as June.

We had to leave about an hour and a half early because of the weather. Tulsa had 7 inches of snow and it came down very fast.

We have had a great day of recruiting and soliciting funds today at Tulsa. No funds came in yet, but lots of people are interested in going on future trips. We met some great resources and did some profitable networking.
A group of us are at the Tulsa workshop with a great exhibit. We have had some very encouraging visits with potential translators, preachers, and hopeful mission workers. We will be here through Saturday.

These ladies prepared a meal for a fellowship activity. Some are volunteers who helped the paid hotel staff.

This photo of the new church building construction is taken from the roof of the new school building. It shows how the cement is mixed--all by hand. All of the concrete for the foundation and floor and columns, and all of the mortar for the blocks is mixed with a shovel.

The La Palma mission team has a booth, #418, at the Tulsa Soul Winning workshop. Come by and visit if you attend this event.
