Dear Praying Friends, I am sorry that I have not written sooner but the whole summer has been a very difficult one for us. Doyle was in and out of the hospital three times in the months of June and July. In June he had surgery on his right ear and we thought he would be able to hear right away, but that isn't the way it is. He is still deaf. This is heartbreaking, but the Lord has His reasons for everything. Eight days after the ear surgery Doyle went into renal failure so we had him back in the hospital for another week. I am glad to say his kidneys are working again, although not completely normal. A week after all this we were back at the hospital again to put in a permanent catheter in the bladder so they could do a procedure on the prostate which was done the next week. With all this his Alzhiemer's went wild so it took a few more weeks to get that under control. Doyle speaks very little but still smiles a lot. Thank you for all your prayers and support, without that we couldn't have gotten through all of it. The churches in Guatemala are doing well and reporting that souls are being saved. The church in Huehuetenango reports that the missions are growing and are in need of a building big enough to meet in all at once. In one of the missions they meet in five different places because there are too many people to fit in one place. The pastor teaches five times on Saturday. That is quite a job for any pastor. The church in Quesaltenango has a big problem with their papers. The government turned down all of their papers, so they have to start all over again. Pray for them. It is a hard time for them. Thank you once again for your support and prayers. Please continue to pray.
