We are enjoying being with Dad down here in S.W. Fla. in Port Charlotte. He seems to be doing well and his mind is very sharp. He was 87 this past Sept. It was a real joy to preach at the Peace River Church Sun. The new building is really going up. The roof is on and the building is going to be an asset to the community. Rosemary and I met a lady at church yesterday. Her name is Linda. She had recently started attending but was not a member. I ask her if Br. Doug, the preacher and I could come over today and read the bible with her. She said yes. Br. Doug and I went over this afternoon and studied the bible with her. She said she wanted to be baptized. At that time her daughter in the 11th grade came home from school. She asked her daughter is she would like to study the bible with Br. Doug and me. She said yes. Br. Doug and I baptized this mother and daughter into Christ this afternoon. We used the open bible method of study with her. This encourages the student to read the bible and let God's word speak to them. Now here is the wonderful thing. This mother wants us to come back as soon as possible and study with her sons, and her mother and father. We are looking forward to this study with them. These young people have a lot of friends and several bible Studies could very well come from this effort. I really wish you could know the fine brethren at the Peace River Church. They are aware of the potential before them and I believe they want to make the effort in outreach. Br. Doug and his wife Evie serve this church unselfishly. She is at Doug's side and is a real helper. She was at the baptism today and is an inspiration to these new christian sisters. Looking forward to preaching with my beloved Howell Church this Sunday.
