I generally work 16 hours a day! Mostly on Bible studies to send out, putting pictures on the forum for people to pray, then going to church, making visits, and all that involves missionary life…

I have never (we) had much money although I now live in a very nice home that was paid in full for us by a friend. However our people know that fact and are not jealous because they have followed our lives for over 40 years…some remember me washing clothes in the creek and cooking with wood stoves! Today I am so blessed but it bothers me when Americans come and tell me the people stink and this or that…especially if they make faces…
I have confessed….
After reading your post, I feel as though I get angry over the littlest things such as driving behind a slow poke driving 5 miles under the speed limit in the left lane. Although I could make the comparison between those clueless individuals that simply do not realize thier own ignorance.
