Dear Pastor and Brethren,
One would think that all the pressure Mr. Trump is putting on the Latino community would cause them to return to Mexico or their country of origin voluntarily. We have found that not to be true here in the Stillwater community. Our outreach has diminished apparently due to the fact that the Latinos are behaving themselves better. For the month of December we have had the opportunity to work with Jesus Yarael Hernandez Roman, Lazaro Lara Garza, and Alfonso Alvarez Granados. Of these three, only one, Alfonso, came to do community service with us for fifteen hours. He was a great help, and I was able to give him Gospel literature to read.
Our Services for December
We had a total of 34 people attend our services for the month. I began a series of sermons on the subject entitled, “Understanding God’s Decree,” Beginning with a definition I followed by a look at biblical terminology and am still preaching on the subject.
Update on My Heart Health
On December 6th, I received 200 volts of electricity directly into my heart for the purpose of hoping that such a shock would put my heart back into proper sinus rhythm. As it had been out of rhythm for more than three years, the doctors were not positive that they could get it to go back into proper rhythm and then stay in that proper rhythm. They had put me on a special medicine that I had to take for at least thirty days without fail or they would not give me the procedure. At the time of the procedure I had taken the medicine without fail for more than thirty days. The procedure was a wonderful success, and I thank Roxanne and Eric who accompanied me to the hospital and back home as well as all of you who were in prayer for me about this matter at that time. Although I still am an old man, now, at 78 years of age, I am stronger and able to walk without losing my balance, get out of my chair without Roxanne’s help, climb at least four stairs without stopping to catch my breath and walk to our mailbox and back and various other movements that I had lost due to the erratic heart beating. Much of my energy is back and slowly but surely I am adjusting to a normal life, praise the Lord and thanks again for your prayers.
By His grace and in loving gratitude,
Tim and Roxanne Parrow
