Thursday, February 20th, 2014In Louisiana, thus far, we have ministered in four churches: Bible Baptist Church in Pine with Pastor Harold Gaddy. First Baptist Church of Arcola with Pastor Robert Simpson, Faith Bible Baptist Church in Oakdale with Pastor Lester Hobbs, and Victory Baptist Church in Lake Charles with Pastor Wayne Dartez. For an added blessing, I also preached at Victory Baptist School.
As we spent weekends preaching and teaching, I was hard at work trying to solve our water problem. Because of the cold weather up in Richmond, Indiana, we broke our water pump that delivers fresh water to the motorhome. We also broke the Mana Bloc that provides a water shut off system for the bathroom and kitchen area. Although only one seal broke, I still had to purchase the whole block because they do not just sell one seal. The new system had different size output hoses than the original and the original size is no longer being manufactured, so I had to find a way to connect 12 water lines without leaks. Once that was installed, I discovered a leak in a filter canister, but was able to bypass it until it could be shipped. Praise God today the canister arrived from the north, in spite of a bad weather delay.

On January 17 – 23, 2014 we moved into our new-to-us home in the middle of a cold winter storm at Tom Raper in Richmond, Indiana. After moving into our home, Timothy headed south for our meetings in Louisiana. Jane and Caleb traveled north to see her Mom and Dad in Pierceton, Indiana and visited her dentist for a quick check up. Fortunately, they found that the root canal was alright, but very sensitive around her gums and one filling had partially fallen out. Pray that Jane will find ways to keep the pain down.
After arriving in Louisiana, we found that the cold damaged our water system: the damage has been a challenge to fix. Fortunately after four weeks, we now have running water which we don’t have to run and get. We have a few more glitches to work through, but having a motorhome has given us some great blessings. In May, we purchased a Saturn Ion to teach our son Caleb how to drive. The Saturn gets about 30 mpg, whereas the truck averaged 6.5 mpg. We are pulling the Saturn behind the motorhome.
