Last week our power was off so I wasn't able to write. It was off a total of seven days. God really helped us in getting permission for the increased power we need for the new heating system we are having put in the house. We got the permission for the increased power within 24 hours; it usually takes two weeks or so. Many things that needed to happen in order for us to get heat in our house came together last Thursday and Friday. We don't have it yet, but it could have taken much longer than it will. We thank God for a warm Fall that has kept our house tolerably warm.

Our services have been going ok. We had a lower day this past Sunday as far as numbers go. But it was the first really cold day this winter, so that could be the reason.

The Jim Pranger family is here from Russia with us while they get their visa paper work done. We are enjoying the fellowship and help, as we have several projects that need to be done before winter really sets in.

Thanks for your prayers.

In Christ,
