May

your

blessing be upon your

people.

Psalm

3:8

What a

wonderful

promiseto be delivered from

that

which

affects

our life in any wicked

way.

Not only that,

but we can also as Chris tians count on His

many

blessings. I

pray

that as

you

receive

our let ter you

will ail be richly blessed

and

that you are happy In

the

Lord.

It has

been

a long

time

since

our

last

newsletter

In

January,

but so

many

things have

happened

in our new work that it just seems we couldn't get

down

to writing one.

January

saw us helping

here

in

town

with a

Senior

Saints

program

at

El Paso Christian

College. Bill is now a trustee of EPCC so now and

then

we help

out.

I was privileged to

play

the

piano at their sessions

and

also kept Mom and Dad Ca^y

at

my home while they

were here to a tt end the Senior Saints program. This is a wonderful program for people

over 65 to get to know each other

and teach

each other more things. Yes, believe it or not,

you can sti ll learn from someone

else at

this

age Also in

January,

Bill

participated

in

the

missions

practicum at

El Paso Christian College. During that week,

the

van

from

Ozark

Bible

College

broke

an

A Frame

and Bill

ended

up

doing

a lot

of the

repair

work

for them. We

were

just thankful

that

it

broke

at

a slow speed

and

not

on

the

highway

Someone

could

have been seriously hurt. A

left A Frame

was not available in

the

local junk yards , so with

a little extra

work,

a right-hand

part

was found

and the group

managed

to get

back

to

Joplin, Missouri, without

further

problems.

in El Paso. Do pray for us at this t ime. Bill plans to

attend

the North American Christian

Convention in Kansas City.

The great announcement is a new baby will arrive in October. So do pray

that

the Lord

will provide for our needs

during

this

time

and also our regular support. It has been very low

and because of this

we have

our

house up

for

sale

and hope

to either

rent for

a while

or

be

able to make enough

out

of

this

house

so we can come up

with

a good down payment on a

sma ll er house.

Bill s mom, Margie, broke her shoulder last month while helping

out

her other son, Tom

and their new baby twins. Do pray for her

that her

healing will be soon and not very

painful. The twins were born with problems so remember them in your prayers

tool

You might

wonder

why I

started out

with

the

Bible verse I didbut, let me tell

you

that

since we ve been here, we have been full

of

problems. I believe it has been

the

devil trying to

discourage usbut I praise

the

Lord

for

being with us and giving us the strength we have

needed

at different

times. Please always remember us and keep us in your

prayers

every

day.

The work seems to be going good at the present time. Six different

points

of distribution

have been set up and Spanish American Evangelism has produced several hundred

thousand

pieces of literature since January. If the present rate is continued we should be able to

produce 1 million pieces this year This is up from 31

thousand tracts

which were

distributed during

1980

just a year and a half

prior

to

Bill s coming to Spanish American

Evangelism as director. Reports are coming in

from

many different places in Latin

America

emphasising

the need for more

materia ls and

stating that the materials which we are

providing are being used and souls are being won as a result.

Continue

to pray for this

ministry, the potential Isvery great and Satan knows this. He will do anything he can to slow

down the

work.

A

project

I

would

like

some of

you

to

help

with

is

supplying

Bill

with

clothesfrom

shoes

to

suit. His job requires presentable clothing and with

our

income right now, It Is just not

possible. If you would like to help out in this project, please write to me and I will let you

know sizes. I feel like the rest

of

us can make do

with

mommy sewing and

hand-me-downsbut there jus t are not too many men as big as Bill to pass on their clothing

him.

Also, we have

not

had health insurance on the family since going to Colegio Brblico 10

years ago. In this day and age, that is almost a necessity. Perhaps there is a church or class

who would like

to

take over a project

of

sponsoring health insurance

for the

family.

Thank you all so much and may God be with you. Without you, we couldn t make it.

Love

to

All,

P.S. As this letter is being written, our only transportation is sitting on the driveway just

waiting for Bill to begin

the

task

of

removing and rebuilding

the

engine. Bill put almost

40,000

miles on this vehicle during

the

past

10 months thanks

to

diesel fuel at

only

21 cents

a gallon in Mexico. The Scou t lost compression in

one cylinder

during a trip into Mexico

during the first week of May and Bill drove with only 5 cylinders for over a

month

until the

engine froze up. Pray that God will give Bill the guidance he needs as he rebuilds the engine

and that funds will be available as needed for the project.

P.P.S. Spanish American Evangelism is beginning a special

project of

publishing a special

printing of New Testaments.

Our

goal is to be able

to

issue a

contract

with a

printer

in

Mexico for 100,000 New Testaments. Total cost will be approximately $40,000.00. Over

1,000.00

has been set aside for this project. If

you

would like to participate , designate

your gift

to

New

Testament

fund.

40.00

will purchase approximately 100 New

Testaments

Dear Friends In Christ

We greet

you

again and give God

the

Glory

for

His many blessings.

We thank Him for answering

our

many prayers and

for the wonderful

people we find ourselves surrounded by. God Bless You All.

Our summer

was a very busy one and one in which we were

privileged to have many different guests in

our

home. In July

the

work

was piled up,

and

Thank

God, we finally

got

it

done

for

the

different conventions The

North

American Christian Conven tion

was taken in by one of our staff members, Marilyn Wood, and while

there

she was a good representative for us.

The Mexican Convention

which

I mentioned in our last letter

was


6/12

me but mainly helped Bill out at the office doing some typesetting in

order to get

all

the material

out

for the convention.

His secretary was

out

holding Vacation Bible Schools.

Well, I mentioned our

Scout being out of commission

in

our

last

letter, but.

Praise the Lord, Bill finally

got

it fixed 3 days

after

the

Mexican Convention,

and

then we

took off

for a V.B.S. in Casper,

Wyo.

Our time

spent in Casper with the Christians

there

was

wonderful.

Jeanne

Boyd had a wonderful program planried, which

brought her

great results. They

had

265 students

as

their

highest

attendance.

We praise

God

for

her wonderful work

being

done there.

Jeanne, we

also thank

you for

your great

hospitality

and

give

our

thanks

to the

church, too We thank the Balsam

family

for putting

up

with

us in

their

beautiful home. May

God

bless

them and

continue to

work

through them. Thank you,

Paradise Valley, for the

wonderful

offering

We were able to go

to

Scottsbluff

after

our visit in Casper. We

were thril led to

see

Grandma

Margie,

and my

girls

were

ready

to stay

and take their turn

living

with Grandma.

Do continue

to pray for

Margie. Her shoulder is still causing

her

much pain. She has also left

for

Colorado Springs, Colo.,

to try and

help

once

again

with her

other son's

children as

their

mom goes

off

to

work.

May the

Lord

give her the strength to carry on. On our way

home

from

Scottsbluff,

Neb., we also

stopped

and

saw

Tom, Bill s brother.

The

twins are

darling, and

Jonah,

his

oldest,

has grown into

quite

a fine boy.

We were able

to

meet

with the

Church at Bryant in Scottsbluff

and share our

work with

them

once

again.

Sure

was

good to see

them.

They

had a wonderful get-together for us and a baby shower.

Thank you

all

for the

fine gifts.

We also

happened to stop

by

the

Gering Central

Church on our

way

out of town and

were able

to

see

some

of

the people from there.

Thank

you also for

your gifts and prayers .

Ask

and ye shall be given. How

true

God holds

to

His promises.

I thank God for all

the

wonderful

responses to my last tetter,

concerning Bill s clothes. Bill has been blessed

with

different gifts of

money and clothes. I will not even

try

to

mention

everyone by name,

for fear of forgetting someone. Do know we

thank you

and

appreciate

your

generosity.

For

those that still

want them,

our sizes

continue to give

their best

in what they do. Frances is anxiously

awaiting

her baby ; of

course, so am I. It seems like ages since I've

had this

tummy,

but

the

Dr. says Oct.

18

still. Keep

this

matter

in

mind.

We have

about

half of

our

bill paid, but we'll still owe

about

1,000. In Nov. we will have medical insurance, but they would not

take

us till

after

the baby is born. We thank the Randolph Christian

Church from Schertz , Texas, for their willingness to supply this for

u s

September brought

us a visit

from some wonderful friends

--

Bob

Betty Maupin from Gering, Neb. We

enjoyed

having them to

ourselves

for

a few

days and

pray that they were half as blessed as we

were by their visit. Be

sure

and

ask

them

about

their Mexican

Boots

Spanish American Evangelism is still going strong, but because of

lack

of

general

funds

it

has

not

been

able

to

print

as

much

material.

They hope to

go

ahead and print some

things anyway. S.A.E.

has

started

a fund

to

raise

$40,000

for Spanish New Testaments. We do

not have

the

accessibilty to New Testaments we had

before,

and

because so many people ask

for

them and because many of

our

projects

require

them, the S.A.E.

trustees

felt

this

was a good move.

Right now

the S.A.E.

staff is getting ready for the

Missionary

Convention, so again they are in a

mad

rush. Bill will

be attending

it

Those of you who read our last letter will be glad to hear that our

printer

out

of his

operation jus t

Bart

a

tumor

the

size

of

lemon,

but

nothing

else was

found.

His vocal

cords were not hurt,

and he

was able to talk

soon

after the operation.

He is back to

work and

going

strong.

I thank

you for your prayers
