Dear fellow labourers in Christ,
The months of May and June have seen me through some hills and valleys. But mostly valleys! I had an ingrown toenail removed the first week of May, and on the way home from the hospital, I was in a car wreck. A friend was driving, and I had my foot resting ont he dashboard because of pain. We then rear-ended someboday, and my foot went into the windshield on the passenger side adn cracked it. My nickname now is Robert "Windshield" Breaker.
During the summer and between meetings, I have been working at lawn care to help pay off my outrageous phone bills that accompany deputation. But, during the beginning of June, my lawnmower blew up! Then, my weedeater blew up aslo. If that wasn't bad enough, my blower burnt up as well. I took that as a sign from the Lord to start working harder on deputation. I'm still working, but not as much, so I can spend more time setting up meetings and preaching. I lost a lot of business, but the Lord gave me a loner lawn mower, and I have about three good yards left that I do every week to help pay bills. It looks like after the summer I'll be able to go on deputation full time.
In my last letter, I reported that I was supposed to be married on August 27th. Well, things have changed. I had to drive up to Michigan in June to sort some things out and we had a long talk. She said that she didn't want to get married anymore. So, we broke up and went our separate ways. I was heart broken, but the Lord showed me some things through this. There are two things that God demands from his bride the Church: 1. Willingness, and 2. Faithfulness. These are essential to a strong relationship with Christ, and thse are what I wanted from her. Without these two things, it is impossible to have a marriage. So, though all this the Lord showed me that I had to be more willing to him in some areas of my life, and to be more faithful to him.
Even though things were going not so well these past months, I've been busy plodding along, serving the Lord the best I can. Every where I go, I pass out tracts. I think I distributed over 2000 the last two months. And, the Lord has been bringing many Hispanic people my way. Now, I always carry Spanish tracts with me, because it seems that where ever I go, the Lord puts a Spanish-speaking person in my path. There are so many Spanish-speaking people in America. In fact, Spanish is the second largest spoken language in the United States. And, I am enjoying witnessing to them and practicing my Spanish as well.
Although the last two months weren't the greatest in the world, the Lord did bless with some fruit. I was in Blessed Hope Baptist Church in Arab, Alabama, the end of June, and two kids (Amelia and Bryan) got saved! They are around 11 and 12 years old and are brother and sister. Please pray for them.
After showing my slides, I asked if there were any questions. As soon as I did, Amelia raised her hand and said, "So what happens if you don't get saved?" I replied, "You go to Hell and burn for all eternity!" She cringed and said, "I don't want to go there. When can I get saved?" I said, "Right now!!!" She and her brother both wanted to trust Christ, so we had some of the ladies take them out and show them how to be saved. They back to the service born again. So, praise God for those two souls!!!
Thanks for your prayers and support. Please continue praying for me.
Because of Him,
