Our last Lord’s Day drew to a close on a delicious note. Sis. Kate invited all six of us to her home for a meal. Her hospitality was terrific. It was a heart-warming expression of her love and gratitude. Her home is small and humble, yet the appreciation she expressed touched all of our hearts, not to mention filling our bellies. When I first met Kate, I began calling her, “Kate the Sweet.” She has not let us down and continues to excel in her generosity and graciousness.

Steve, Connie, Dan and Ernestine traveled to Balti where the ladies taught a Bible study while the men waited outside watching the chickens eat leeches. Daniel presided over the Lord’s Table giving a typical 30 minute talk around the table. Steve followed with a lesson on the Lord’s charge to Joshua. They repeated the same lessons in Chisinau. Sid and I traveled to Tiraspol for worship at 10:00 and then on to Benderi at 12:00 for worship with those saints. Sid presented lessons on Haggai and practical evangelism. I spoke at the Lord ’s Table both places discussing the nature of sacrifice and John 13. It was a tiring day, yet one full of joy and rewarding labor. All six of returned to Chisinau in time for a 5:00 worship and Bible study with the church.

We are exhausted and longing for sleep. Tomorrow promises to be another busy day. Sleep will be sweet. Good night and God bless.
