Dear Family,
Well we had a great short trip to Frankfurt Germany. I was lifted on the one hand but concerned on the other because of all that needs to be done. I also was so impressed with the other mission presidents that I told Roylene that I had no business being one. She did not like that. Monday our two assistants in Zagreb wrecked the car but fortunately they nor anyone else was hurt. We had to drive to Zagreb to pay the fine as it was their fault. And we held our planning meeting there. That got Roylene out of doing a meal. On Wednesday we had mission council at our home. She fed 22 people. It was really a spiritual meeting. It was the last meeting for 3 of my 4 assistants as they go home the end of the month. We have an increase in success. We will have as many baptisms in the first four months of this year as we had all of last year. The Lord is really blessing us. The missionaries for the most part are working hard. They also are working much smarter and in line with Preach My Gospel. But it is also true that the Lord is just blessing us. We just met with representatives out of Frankfurt regarding the new chapels. I told them I have lost all trust in any word of buildings being built. I ask them to quit telling me only 50 more days and we will start. I told them to let me know two weeks before they dig so I can schedule a ground breaking. Otherwise quit giving me empty promises. It kind of shook them alittle. Tomorrow we have a brother flying in from Frankfurt to have us take him to Varazdin where we have the Outreach Center in our church. It is working well. We have had five baptisms in this city that before had not had one for years. There is also six more scheduled. He wants to see how we are making it work. Well I must go. Love all of you. Keep up those prayers as they are being answered .
Love Dad
