Ana Maria Crocker Diaz: $4,560
As I’m writing this newsletter (Tuesday evening), I just received a message from Ana, whose words are in red:
I appreciate your prayers and all the love shown during my time with you. Yes, you are my extended family there in the United States as I am to you her in Guatemala
Jim & I went to meet Ana’s flight at the Chattanooga airport at 12:00 Monday night before the assembly. Her plane was late, but her bubbly spirit energized us as we drove to the hotel. Then, Ana HAD to be back at the airport at 6:00 AM Thursday, to clear customs, and start her long flight, with several connections, to the Dominican Republic, to speak to 800 students at the Meso-America youth congress. So, we were ready to go to the airport… Jim brought the car around to load Ana’s luggage at the hotel, but the car WOULD NOT START! We HAD to get Ana to Chattanooga! Jim had me call Scott Blair. Scott & Debbie soon appeared, bleary eyed, but sweet. Jim went with them to the airport to quickly give Scott directions. I stayed at the hotel to call Triple A…they were going to come in about 15 minutes….but Jim and Scott returned, NO Triple A, after over an hour! As God would have it, Doug Hodge (from campground) appeared & offered to take Jim to Walmart to buy new battery. Walmart sold Jim the battery, but said it would be 2 hours before they could come to hotel to install. Doug Hodge could install battery, but left the wrench he needed at home. Then, God sent Doug Nelson (Hill Top Church)..he “just happened” to have the needed wrench! The battery was installed, and we made it to the Thursday morning assembly session…in time to hear most of Brother Ron’s report….
PRAISE THE LORD FOR PUTTING HIS PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME…WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS!
