No one Next, Please!!!!

Yes, I know, it is completely my falt. O man, I feel so bad. Well, not soooo bad. What am I talking about??! Guess!!! Yes, Jedidiah got hurt yesterday!!!!! If you want to live a safe life stay away from the Isbells!!! Yesterday evening he was playing Areech peech peech, a Ukranian game, and smacked into our cement covered house. No concussion but he bled pretty heavily and has some nice gashes on his forehead. Poor guy, he is taking it like a trooper. Obviously, he did not go to church this morning, so mom stayed home with him and I got to teach kids Sunday School. I love it. Please pray for a speedy recovery and that his fever would go down. Dad is doing better and my hand is almost all healed. Also, please pray for me as I am doing some translating for some Americans most of this week. I really like to translate, but after a few hours my brain can get a little sluggish. Especially in front of a big croud. Whatever, they would not know if I was saying the right thing or not anyway!!! I got to go. 10-4

Next in Line???

Thanks for all the prayers. They really are helping. Dude, it seems like it has been one thing after another the past month or so. Today at football ministry Dad was playing goal keeper, and... you guessed it, he broke his middle finger on the left side. I stayed at the terrain and finished while he and JJ went to the house to grab Mom and my first aid kit and then drove to the hospital. First, they picked up a lady from the church in case of need for translation into Ukranian (we have three different languages in this area) and then to the hospital in the thousand year old city 35k's north of us. Well, this being Ukraine there was abviously going to be a priblem some where in here right?? Yes, the hospital in Hotin could not do it so now they are on the way to Chernivtsi, the state capital. Please pray that all will work out good soon. Praise the Lord that a young man named Vitalic got saved last Thursday!!!! Sorry if the grammar and spelling in this stink!

Stuff & Life

Hi, All. OK, life is good. I cut my hand pretty badly after soccer ministry on Tuesday. It is doing better, but I am typing this with my left hand only. We have been in strong spiritual warfare lately. Last night had a new twist, but praise God for a good victory today. Yesterday morning we were able to start a new Bible study in the State capital. It is on for next week also. Please pray that it will grow, and someday turn into a church. I need to go. Pray that I would do well tomorrow, it will be my first run since I slashed my hand.
