We had good services today. This was Bruno's 3rd service in a row and our 3 faithful ladies were in their places. Bruno said to thank everyone in the U.S. who has been praying for him to get saved! So here is a big "Thank you!" from him!
We started a review last Sunday that we finished today. It was a review of all of the subjects and questions that we have answered from the Bible for the past 10 months. Today we finished with the subject of Biblical Prayer and A True Church. We told everyone that this will be our last service for several weeks until our return back to St. Barthelemy.
I have not been too thrilled with the idea of having to leave the ministry here. However, I once heard a veteran missionary say that when God is bringing you back to the U.S. for furlough or other reasons, at first you will be reluctant and not want to go, but as the time draws near to leave, God will give you grace and you will be excited to come back. Then, you will develop a longing and excitement to get back "home" when God is ready to have you back on your mission field.
I do have to say that for the past couple of days, it has been easier for me to think of leaving here and I am getting excited for the opportunity to see friends, family, kiss my wife, and the arrival of the newest member of our family. (Not to mention that some good chinese food and BBQ really sound good!)
Kami is doing great and the midwife said that the baby could come now or in a couple of weeks. So hopefully the baby will arrive just a couple of days after the girls and I arrive in Florida. This will let us to be able to get the necessary paperwork started to be able to travel back. Our hope is that Kami and the baby will not have to wait too long in getting the passport for the baby so they can get back as soon as possible.
So, my next post will be written from Florida with hopefully pics of the new baby. We leave this Tuesday and our family will be "whole" again by 10 PM on Tuesday!
