Dear Friends in Christ,
In just the past couple of weeks, we have slowly seen some of the reservations opening up so that our missionaries and pastors can resume Sunday services. \u00a0However, the Navajo Reservation, which is closest to us, is still enforcing daily curfews and week-end lock-downs. \u00a0Between the curfews and lock-downs, the residents are free to travel to town for business and supplies. \u00a0Many of them stop by for saddle & leather work, counseling and just for a visit. \u00a0This has given us many opportunities to talk about our Lord and give the Gospel message. \u00a0Pray with us to use these opportunities and for the Holy Spirit to work in hearts, for He knows each need far better than we do.
We are still waiting for the Dine Bible Institute to begin classes once again. \u00a0Maybe in the spring semester\u2026? \u00a0Pray with us. \u00a0We know the Lord\u2019s timing isn\u2019t always ours and we are trying to be patient. \u00a0We do still have contact with various students and they seem eager to get back to their studies.
We are both doing well and God has seen fit to keep us safe from the COVID virus so far. \u00a0We do try to be wise but still not let it dictate our lives. \u00a0Please continue to pray with us for good health.
This past week-end, Sam was able to preach at a local church here in Flagstaff as the pastor was away. \u00a0It was good to be used this way once again in spite of the present conditions. \u00a0We miss the opportunities to serve in this manner, but trusting God to use us as He sees best.
We plan to spend some time with our family in the east during the month of November for our annual family Thanksgiving gathering. \u00a0Pray with us for safety as we travel. \u00a0We look forward to this time each year with kids, grandkids and great-grandkids and thankful that God has given us this special time each year. \u00a0Notice that this letter is for both October and November as we travel. \u00a0We will try to catch up with you again in December, so don\u2019t be concerned or feel forgotten next month.\u00a0
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and support. \u00a0God has met all our needs and we appreciate your willingness to be used by Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
II Cor. 2:11 \u201cYe also helping together by prayer for us.\u201d
In Christ,
