No, we still do not have home-phone service at our house nor internet. We were told that it would be another 2 months at least. However, when we went back to the phone company, they said that hopefully it shouldn't be much longer. Hopefully soon we will be able to make regular updates.
We are able to ship 12 more boxes of our things this week. They will be picked up from Florida on Friday and put on the ship next Thursday. Thus it will be another 2 weeks before our stuff arrives. We are not able to ship all of the rest of our stuff, but praise the Lord we are able to ship a few things and especially the rest of the kid's school books! They can't finish their school until their literature books come in, then read the books and finish their P.A.C.E.S. for school.
This past Sunday, we had one lady come to our Sunday Bible Study. This was our second Sunday in which we have had a Bible study and meal starting at 10:30. She had a great time and wants us to pick her up every Sunday from now on. She gave us a clear account of accepting Christ as her Saviour in February of 1980 when she was in Michigan. However, she has not grown as a Christian very much and has had a very hard life including the death of a son. However, she is excited to start learning the Bible and growing as a Christian.
Please continue to pray for the people of St. Barths. We love the people here and care for them so much. They are a precious people. We are trying to get them to understand that they must trust in the Word of God and not in a man, a priest, or a religion. It will take time, but eventually, we trust that many will come to know Christ as their Saviour.
Please also continue to pray for our paperwork from France that we are waiting on. We cannot get our French passports until this paperwork comes in. We are only allowed to stay on the island using our American passports for 3 months, then we must leave. God's timing is perfect and we trust and pray that the paperwork will be in right on time! We know so many of you are praying for our family and we can see that God has answered so many of our prayers, it's amazing! Thank you for your prayers for our family.
Until next time.........
