I don't know where time goes. It seems that I was just on here! Oh well, it is time for a grand praise report! My son no longer has any cancer in his body. Thank you Jesus for your healing power and the suffering that you bore in order for us to be healed. I praise your holy name. Such great news. Is anything too hard for our God? Absolutely not.
So what else is happening? Well, a tooth broke off last week. And I wasn't to happy about that, but I went in to Tegu to see the dentist that we have at the office. And he told me that he couldn't fix it, but I needed to go to CEAD, where Becky goes to church, and see the dentist there. So Becky and I went. I spent three hours in Karen's, the dentist, chair with my mouth opened. Wow! So I needed a crown, and she removed an old crown also. She filled another tooth, and then took impressions. So I'll receive my new crowns next Friday. And for all this, my bill was $760. Can't do that in the states. No wonder there are so many people that go to Mexico and other countries to get dental work done.
I started this last week and will finish it today. I received my new crowns on Friday, and I am so pleased with them. The color is good, and they are so comfortable that I don't even know they are there. Great work.

Well it's that time of the year again. Independence Day is September 15, so we are now practicing everyday for the parade. But at least this year, everybody, including the parents, agreed on the time. Instead of taking class time to practice, the kids start at 12:30 and finish at 2:00. On Fridays, they start at 9:30 and finish at 12:00 when they go home. Fridays are usually different anyway, so they aren't losing that much class time. Reviews for nine week exams are this week, and exams will be next week. The school year is about over. Hooray!!
I'm preaching next Sunday, so I've been working on the message. Hopefully, my Spanish will be ok. But my pastor speaks some English, so between the two of us, it will be good. After all, the Holy Spirit speaks both, so no need to worry, right? We are having one service a month on Saturday evening. It's nainly for those that have to work on Sundays. Depending on the amount of people that come, we won't have service Sunday morning. Well, many were there last night, so no service this morning. It felt so good not to have to go anywhere this morning and to get up at six instead of three-thirty. I could handle more of these!
Our new library hs been a hit with both kids and teachers. Thank you Lord and the team that came from Carlinville, IL in June. Most people in HN don't like to read. But then most don't have access to books, and when they do, the books are very expensive. So most kids aren't read to when they are small. and many of the parents didn't know how to read. So hopefully this will inspire a love for reading. One class missed their time in the library time last week because their behavior was so bad. They were really unhappy. So hopefully they learned a lesson and will be better especially on library day! The books are in Spanish which is wonderful, and there are a few in English. We also have a few bilingual books. So here's hoping the Lord will touch each one of them. I keep telling my students that the more they read, the more they know.
My pastor's wife is learning English when she comes to visit on Wednesdays. Her daughter told me this morning that she practices all the time and loves singing Open the Eyes of My Heart. This week I'm going to teach her the chorus I Am the God That Healeth Thee and then In the Garden. She loves to listen to the English hymns even though she doesn't understand all the words. Her father was a pastor and she grew up singing hymns. So this is great, because I love the old hymns, too.
So now, it's time to quit and get things ready for tomorrow.
Peace, grace, and love.
