    We are certainly keeping the old "Model T" (us) chugging right along at a good clip. As I shared before, we are hoping that all of our check-ups are done since our bank account is. It is good to have a thorough check-up from time to time as we tend to ignore such things when we are on the field. We praise the Lord that both Ann and I have been given a clean bill of health, even "at your age."
     Our schedule has been full and we are certainly running enough, but we love seeing everyone again. We have been locked in WV for a couple of months and now we are beginning to move out into the other states where we have supporters. God has been as good to you as as He has been with us these last several years. Cheyenne reports that all is going well with the deaf in Guad, so our hearts rejoice that they are learning to depend on HIM.
     I published our newsletter but forgot to send out the blog announcement. It is always on the blog (until I forget) so you can check this blog at any time, with or without my reminder. Thank you for praying. 
     I had hoped that we would have a beautiful "Christmas" snow before we go back, but it looks like our two or three snowfalls that have lasted a few hours will be about all we get. I am sure that some of you have snow you would love to send us, but it doesn't work that way! One of my favorite authors has been Robert Frost, and he often wrote of the beautiful snows and its effect on us. I remember in my very young days of snow up to the sill of the windows. It sure ruins a work day, but it seemed like back then, everyone took it in stride and it was no big deal. I still have my fingers crossed for the month of June (dreaming).
     Thank you again for praying and continue to ask the Lord to use us as we travel and minister. We are praying that God will bless you and use you as well today.
Gary & Ann

October 23, 2023                                                           Psalm 89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. Dear Praying Friends,      We are so thankful to be able to be home for furlough this year and have been in over twelve church meetings since arriving. It is so good to see how God brought His churches through the tough times of the pandemic and is slowly rebuilding those ministries as well as ours. Our God is always faithful.      Casey, Ann’s mother, is doing well with good days and days less joyful. She completed pin-point radiation and will have to wait a total of three months to see how effective it was towards the tumor. She had hesitated in going ahead with the treatment, but decided she should try to see if that would at least slow down the growth. She able to take care of her personal needs, but does need help with any extra care and at times is less stable on her

Dear Praying Friends,      You have been praying, haven't you? FIRST, Ann's bogus account was fixed, so there should be no more problems there. I don't do Facebook, but Cheyenne took care of it for us.      Yesterday was the test day for the whole church. Armando returned from Monterrey on Friday, so I scheduled a meeting with him on Saturday. The results of that will be explained in a minute.      Yesterday was also the day that our ex-deacon was to return with all the deaf he "won to Christ." It turned out that they had led 1 deaf person to the Lord. All of the rest (30-35) were people they took out of our deaf church.      Armando preached the regular service and ended the service without saying anything about his status. After the service was over, he asked if he could talk to the members. Amazingly, all non-members moved outside without a murmur. He began by explaining that he was totally in charge of taking care of his dad after his surgery because his only

  March/April, 2024   O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.     Isaiah 25:1   Dear Praying Friends,             Our God is so faithful and His counsels are always right. God has blessed us and the services and travels that we have made. It blesses us to see how God is still working in America, even though many appear to have turned their back on Him. HE still is faithful and never changes.             Recently, Gary’s closest friend, brother in the Lord and hunting buddy, Wendell Drake, passed away. Many times, we would arise early to hunt, eat breakfast, and then sit at the table sharing Bible verses or questions until afternoon. Thank you for those who responded that they were praying. Pray for the family as they adjust to this loss.             Ann’s mother, Casey, was diagnosed with cancer just as we were preparing to come home on furlough. Through pin-
