Dear Friends:

It's now Saturday night here. We still don't have internet service yet. Hopefully Monday morning. I went back to the On-line store Thursday and got switched over to wireless. I asked when it would be on and the lady said they would come out either Saturday or Monday morning. The service guys only work in the morning due to the heat.

Rebekah's really catching up on school work now. She often has to use my laptop, at an internet cafe. The computers in these places aren't current enough to let her download her assignments. She dropped the College Algebra class because she couldn't get on to see her homwork. Then, that all got worked out, so she's back in the class and hurrying to catch up. Oh, by the way, she will be named as a National Merit Semi-finalist!!! How about that?

I forgot to tell you that last Friday night, we had a baptism at the school. A medical doctor, Dr. P, who has been studying with Earl Bridges was baptized at the baptistry at the school. Tawn Lork did the baptism. The baptistry is a huge metal container, welded together and on wheels, that we filled up with a garden hose. I loaned Dr. P a pair of my shorts and a t-shirt. It was a good night.

Last night, we had supper with the Cantrells. Jerry came here to teach Daniel. He finished early, so he stayed on to teach I&II Thessalonians. That allowed me to keep doing things I needed to do to get settled. We appreciate them.

I've been reading the gospel of John every day, along with studying it for class. We''ve all been trying to keep up with our language lessons. Rebekah is by far the star student. Ronda works the hardest. So, that leaves me bringing up the rear. It's slow, but we're getting better.

Keep us in your prayers. Know you're in our hearts. Walk with God

WOW! How about that! We knew Rebekah should make it as National Merit Semi-Finalist and now she has. That is a GREAT testament to her will, determination and just plain hard work, not to mention just plain good genes. We are so excited for her! Give her a BIG hug from the two of us. Praise God for the baptism! He should be instrumental in others coming to our Lord. Let's hope so. You two big guys work on the language just as hard as Rebekah. Get her to help you. We love you and pray for you daily. Bob & Carol A.
