If you’ve been reading Marianne Fimble’s facebook posts you’ll know that she, Selma, and I are in Puerto Rico on a mission trip. After the earthquake we lost power and have been without central power since Monday. A sister church of the church where we are based experienced some significant damage in the quake yesterday. The local leaders and pastor asked if we could change plans and go down to southern part of island where the church is. It is in the main area where the quakes have been centered. After some prayer and discussion we decided it was best to follow our hearts and go help. Some will stay and finish the roof and rest will travel south to help the church clean up the damage to their new sanctuary. They just had it remodeled after the hurricane.
Some are feeling a little anxious but still decided to go.
And the lord asked. “Who shall I send”?
Peace

A note from Marianne:
And you would have been so proud to see Mike on the rafters of the house we worked on. The family who will live in it were so thankful. Now they will be able to fix the rest of the house and have their family together. Today as we drive toward the epicenter we stopped to get drinks. A man came up and insisted (with tears in his eyes) that he pay. I am truly receiving far more than I am giving.
PS I used a power saw for the first time!!! Very exciting!
