July 2008
Dear Friends,
After two dry hot months we finally got
relief. It has been raining sporadically for several days. We are still
far below our normal rain levels but the temperature has cooled making
things more tolerable.
Last month a lady missionary and son, who
work in the same church as I do, accompanied me on a border trip to help
me bring back part of my furniture and household items stored in the
warehouse. We made a good load including one small air conditioner,
several chairs, end tables and most of the boxed items. Now what's left
are the really big heavy things that I can only lift and load with a
man's help. Please pray for the next trip probably in August so that I
can clean out the storage unit and save all that monthly rent.
As for my health it has been better after
quitting soft drinks, coffee and most hot stuff. I have had a skin
infection something like psoriasis. I tried white iodine, antibiotic
cream, aloe vera and body butter. I am very thankful for whoever gave
the body butter to a mission closet or gift bag.
On Monday nights a church member and I
usually meet at another members house in town to go soul winning in our
Jewish outreach ministry. Last Monday night we all decided instead to
attend a Bible conference at a church in town. We knew little about the
church but wanted to hear a special speaker that would be preaching that
night. The service started very late and the environment wasn't very
spiritual so we decided to leave early. On the way home we got
turned around and needed directions. The driver decided to stop and
asked a man who stood on the narrow street in front of a row of houses.
As he asked for directions toward the main highway he took time to
witness. When he pulled the car over we all got out and found someone to
talk with. I took out an illustrated Gospel children's tract and began
unfolding it. As I showed the pictures of separation from God, Hell,
Heaven, Sin, Jesus Death and Resurrection, I was surrounded by attentive
little faces. That night I won 10 children to Christ. The lady that was
with me won 4 and the driver won the man who gave him directions. We
were sad at not having heard the good preaching yet we were rejoicing
over 15 souls saved through God's leading.
Please pray for our up-coming summer
camps both children's and youth. Pray for those attending as well as the
workers that God will bless with souls saved and decisions to serve
Christ. Pray for strength and wisdom for each worker.
I appreciate the effort that you put
forth to remain faithful in your mission giving. I know that everything
in the U.S. is rising in price making your resources more limited every
day. Thank You for trusting God to supply and for separating part of
your limited resources in order to share the Gospel with those whom you
have never met. Phil. 4: 19
In Christ,
Betty Hall
Missionary to Mexico
