For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” (James 4:1 4). But, looking on the happy side: we still have TEN MONTHS to work! So let’s be thankful and busy! Here at Home B-r-r-r! This has been a cold winter! And it’s not over yet! As with all of you, the heat bills have been big enough to choke a horse, even though we try to minimize as much as possible. Since I am the only one in the house now, I keep a little heater in the bedroom and in the room I use for an ofce; the rest of the house is “hurry through” temperature! But we have been spared the power outages that many in the northern states (and even Georgia) have experience d, along with ice and snow . More things to be thankful for! Jerry and Paula left Februa ry 28 to begin the long trip to India. They will be gone about seven weeks, spending the last two teaching in the spring Bible school in Myanmar. I wish you could have been here to have seen their diligent work in the ofce, nishing up responsibilities here, right on up to mid-afternoon when they were scheduled to leave. God blessed the work so richly when He brought the Bates and the Rushmores to Winona shortly before J.C. died. Without them....? But with their abilities and willingness to work, much has been added in these 5 1/2 years to the program that was in place at that time. And opportunities continue to open up, so please be praying with us that it will be possible to go through every open door. The Rushmores have been in Guyana for the past month, with a very full schedule of teaching all over the country . Their emphasis —in fulllment of local requests —is not primar - ily evangelism, though two Gospel meetings were conducted, but further grounding of those who are already Christian s and providing deeper Scripture studies even for the men who preach. They returned to W inona on March 3. W e continue to be so very thankful that Bonnie is doing well and has been able to cope with the challenging schedule Louis had planned for both of them. The Voice of Truth International V olume 79 of The V oice of Truth International raises a question on the front cover: “Hey!!! What do we do with the leftovers??? On the back cover we list ways that we hope the magazine will be used in outreach: leave copies in waiting rooms; share with people you meet; use them in prison ministry; give them to contacts in door-knocking; share with visitors at the as- semblies, etc., etc. We would hope that not a single copy is left to collect dust on a display table in the foyer . Let them be the silent, ever-present little soldiers sharing the Gospel! When the Estes truck pulled into the parking area, we had help with the unloading from a group of sisters who had come
