I stayed in Lake Havasu as I have been very busy with preparing a series on Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage; Helping prepare some constitutional changes that have to be made before we can consider bringing in a candidate. We still have a man in mind and if the changes are made he and his wife will come to actually candidate. If called, most likely the soonest he could be in place would be the first of December. So we will be here at least until then.
Meanwhile, we continue to enjoy the high temperatures of the desert. Today was a mild 108 degrees. For the past few weeks temperatures have been over 110 and as high as 121. At least at night it cools off to the 90's. But the good thing is that I have gotten used to sleeping with the air conditioners and fans running. We also get to enjoy some strange looking clouds and weather patterns. Below is a picture of a down pour that seemingly instantly appeared. No, it is not a fire nor is it a nuclear explosion.
Dayle is leaving on Tuesday (9/6), the day after our 40th anniversary, for Mexico City to be with her sister. Ellen has been a missionary in Mexico for 30 years and the church is honoring her for her work.
Our application process to be missionaries under N.I.C.E. (Northwest Independent Church Extension of the IFCA) is still progressing. We are hopeful that all will be completed in order to have our final interview with the NICE board at the Regional Conference in Astoria, Oregon during the first week of October.
Prayer requests:
1. For my sister and her family as they have some difficult and stressful times ahead.
2. My mom's salvation.
3. The upcoming constitutional revision meeting on September 18th
4. The pastoral search process at Bethany Bible Church
5. Dayle as she travels to Mexico
