Dear Co-workers,
Blessings to you and yours. Praise God for His grace and mercy. Much thanks to you for your financial help. Thanks for the many prayers. Last week, an elder told me that he prayed for me 5-6 times a week. That made my day/week!
Let’s look at the reports for the first 10-11 weeks of 2009. In Guatemala, we had 72 baptisms with 21 restorations. Some of the campaigns were more difficult because they were in 100% Mayan villages. The language and cultural difficulties naturally hindered the number of responses. We are happy to make these inroads.
I am very pleased with William Racancoj in Honduras. He is the new director; with only 16 students, they have baptized 105 and restored 114. Also, they have helped start at least three new works. In Nicaragua, over 160 have been baptized through March. I do not have the restorations number. So totally, we have more than 337 baptisms, plus very many restored to God’s glory.
