Senior AIM participated in the Levelland campaign during the week of October 10, 2010 (10-10-10) My comments are: 1. Six Senior AIMers participated in the door knocking, letter writing, and personal contact: Rilda Perry, Mary Jenkins, Leta Sarten, Brenda Hall, Cecilia Jones and Stuart Jones 2. Donna Brooks and Philip Abuzeide from the two year track were involved. 3. The area of town included in Jay Kelley's plan was the west side or the lower economic area. Our team visited every door in the area set out by Jay (except for one with a very noisy dog). We left material with the residents about the church, specifically the Austin Street congregation. 4. We had no negative reactions from any of the people who answered the door. All were pleasant. 5. Leta made a contact with one lady who then attended and is now in a Bible Study. 6. Bev Bontrager taught the Ladies class on Wednesday morning with a good attendance. 7. Ron Bontrager presented excellent lessons in the p.m. assembly time at the building.

His doctor diagnosed a return of his cancer with markers that have increased suddenly and dramatically. He now can control his pain level with a new medical regimen. The goal is to provide some comfort and rest time.
In a few days there will be a scope to determine exactly where the cancer is located. At that time, they will decide if chemo is an option. We gathered from their comments that if it is located in the pancreas that neither Don nor Rilda are favorable toward starting chemo treatments.
They will be moving soon, having sold their house and having purchased another one. We have committed to helping them move.

Please rejoice with us about the enrollment for this term. We had 22 in class on Thursday. Age range 60's to 90's. And there were six men plus myself!! I am impressed with the students' eagerness, enthusiasm, and readiness to do the homework (which is not easy). They will keep me working to ensure we achieve the interpretation God intends.
