Brokenhearted in Bolivia

Hi guys,

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm doing well. Thank you so much for praying. I had to speak twice yesterday with my voice going in and out, but the Lord blessed my efforts and everything turned out great. My voice is much stronger today but the weather has turned cold and rainy so keep praying.

On a sad note, it looks like I will not be speaking at Palmasola Prison after all. Not because the Jail itself doesn't want to have me but because the pastor who was supposed to set things up failed to do so in time. Now my only opportunity to go is on Saturday morning but I have 150 orphans waiting for me to visit them on that day. I'm so sad and disappointed, not for me but for all the inmates who were expecting me. The same pastor who was helping us has a radio program and had been promoting my visit to the jail. When I was at the station this week, people from the prison called in saying how much they can't wait to hear my message. This just breaks my heart because I know that God could use me to bring many of them to Christ. So today as I look around the table here I see that there is a cloud of sadness over my team. We hurt over the souls.

Well, that's it for now, thanks again for all your prayers and emails of support. The three of us gather around the computer every night and read every single word that you write to us. We love you guys so much.
