Slater Update 5--Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Dear Ones,

Thank God for a beautiful sunny day, a nice breeze and a good night's sleep.

Bill is at the hospital prayer meeting for two days in a row now. Thanks for your prayers. It takes awhile to get organized.

I was able to interview three EMA scholarship children yesterday, and then the video battery needed to be charged. We had charged it before we left home but it wasn't fully charged when we got here for some reason. So today I have two batteries and my little camera and we are going to some distant students.

liberiamap.gifWe have arranged transportation to Ganta (shown as "Gahnpa" on the map) so I will start packing and preparing for that trip tomorrow. Bill agreed to preach/teach for four nights and Sat. a.m. for Youth for Christ when we get back from Ganta. It is a heavy schedule as he will be at the hospital in the daytime and with YFC in the evening. He is going to do the book of Romans using some of the material he used in Nicaragua with Campus Crusade awhile back. Please pray for us. We feel very inadequate but are trusting God and doing our best. I will talk with young women individually who come to me.

I have tried several times to send the small video I took of the transmitter guys and the new tube but I am unable to send it so I will do it when I get home. The station internet was in town being worked on and is now back but still not doing too well. I went to the internet cafe yesterday while Bill was in town and it was really precious the way security won't let me go by myself. Yesterday they took me there on a motorcycle with me holding my computer and bag. He drove so carefully. Then when we came back three of them walked us home. Bill had met me there by then. So we had them in for fufu and some freshly baked bread and jelly. Yummy. My friend Esther bakes me something nearly every other day. We have known two of the security guys and Esther since they were children.

Bill is back now so time for breakfast. I hope I will be able to send this today.

Please continue to pray for the hospital. Things are not good. Hey, Mark Neaman, we need you.

Love,

Judy
