We lost a well-loved man...the Father of Ruben, Rachelle and Ruth passed away Wednesday. He was gravely ill and Ruben took him to Dr. Dan at the hospital, but he didn't make it. So they left this morning for St. Michel, where he is from, with the body preceding them. Ruben and his wife left earlier as the body was to be taken directly to the cemetery. Later, benches were put in the back of a big truck. Ruth & Rachelle rode in the cab, we were thankful. Some of our children and friends from the Tabernacle went also. As the engine started they began to sing, and before they left, our young Pastor John lifted his arms and prayed. Ruth and Rachelle saw me standing in the window and waved. A site to be seen. Even though it was so very sad, our hearts rejoiced to see unity as the truck drove away. Yes, he was a Christian.

Yesterday we were remembering, shortly after the triplets came to EGO at 8 days old and only 4+ lbs. each, their father carried a goat all the way here from St. Michel on his shoulders. He had just lost his lovely wife in child birth. What love he had for his children, and that love never stopped.

With the all seeing eye of the Lord, be Blessed.
Don & Doris
