May 2016 Newsletter

Tony & Calli with Evelyn, our new friend and sister in the Lord! Meet one of the “Beautiful Souls” the Lord had shown to me! I mentioned in April’s newsletter (see the reprint below*) the Soul Mate Bible we salvaged from the fire that I placed in my purse. Well here is one of those beautiful souls I saw coming to the Lord through it! Her name is Evelyn. We met her when she advertised some furniture for sale on-line. (Tony and I are searching for bargains to refurnish the mission Center after the fire.) We not only purchased a few pieces of her furniture but more importantly were blessed to lead her to Jesus! She is such a precious lady. She was recently widowed when her husband passed away this January. So we all identified with each other in our grieving process.

Just a couple of spoonsful of sugar to help the medicine go down! Grandkids, Miles and Bree were just what the doctor ordered.

Tribute to Felicity Poole Privado May 27, 1983 - February 17, 2016 Felicity's grandmother "Grammy" used to say to the kids, "Pretty is, as pretty does"! Felicity lived her life as a role model of that old saying. She loved her friends and family with all she had. We always said about her that she was the darling of the whipped pup society, she would always look for the person that was down trodden and lift them up. She was the princess of the lonely hearts, down trodden, people that needed a friend and those that others would look over and never see. She was a big giver and even when she had nothing she would always find a way to give. Greater love hath no one than to lay their life down for a friend. When Felicity went back into the house, she was looking for Erick and Bri and would...
