We have had three marriages lately in Ciudad Colon. We rejoice too that the believers are manifesting good capacity in forwarding the work. A young man in Grade 10 professed recently. One of the brethren here had spoken to him about the salvation of his soul. Under conviction, he returned to his home, and there he trusted the Lord to save him. His family has not encouraged him much, but now he is happy to find himself surrounded with so many friends. This young man has just requested baptism.
Another interesting case relates to the husband of a sister in the assembly here. He had professed previously, but his manner of life did not correspond to that of a believer. However, he was hospitalized with cancer. There he realized that he was not ready to meet God. Facing the possibility of death, he says he trusted Christ to save him. His life has changed completely, to which his wife bears testimony. He is thankful that the Lord turned the difficulty to his eternal blessing. He obeyed the Lord in baptism recently and is taking his place in the assembly here.
I have had a cataract removed and recently had my fifth surgical intervention on my only good eye. It is difficult to be led by the hand and travel with limited vision of creation.
