Yesterday afternoon, I was at my last job of the day about 1:45 hr./min. from the house and Darlene called and said, "Guess what?" I said, "I don't know, what." and she told me the Daniel and Tammy Coates were in North Alabama and coming our way! I finished and beat it to the house and we met with them and went out for supper and went back to the house to fellowship. We talked and sang till after midnight.
I went to Bible College with Tammy's older brother, Randy, who pastors in Wisconcin and has a sweet (big) family.
Many of us have never seen each other face-to-face, and it is a blessing when we get to meet. I just want to say that the Coates are sweet servents of the Lord and we should be blessed that they represent our Saviour to the precious people of Guatamala.
Oct. 22, Daniel is driving their van (they replaced their old van with a newer one while here on furlough,) all the way back to Guatamala. Tammy and the children are going to fly down and she will be 7 mos. pregnant.
Please pray the the Lord will bless, protect, and provided for them as they finish up their meetings here in the States and get ready to go back to the field.
Rejoicing, Ben, Darlene, and Family
