Thank you so much for your prayers for Robin. She is well, back to normal and has no fever. Her fever left her about 2 days after she started the antibiotics. The bad taste in her mouth went away too. I wondered if it had to do with dead bacteria??? But I’m not a doctor. I don’t know. Anyway, there is life in her eyes as I have not seen for years actually, and by her own admission, she feels better now than she has in years. I wonder if she’s been fighting this bacteria for a long time. Yesterday we went for a mild hike in the desert and today we went to church together. As we speak, she is making lunch for us.

All this to say thank you, and she expressed her gratitude for your prayers this morning in church with tears of thankfulness welling up in her eyes. She will continue the antibiotics for 2 more days until they are done.

Just wanted to update you. What a nice time for her to feel a new beginning – for He is risen some 1,991 years ago on approximately this day according to a whole new calendar which God had instituted some 3,300 years ago. It all speaks of new life – spring time. We appreciate your continued prayers for us as the Lord directs your hearts.

Thank you so much for your prayers. Robin continues to improve. Last night, she had enough energy to call Amanda, which is a good sign, and I can start to hear her returning to her normal mind. She’s even laughing at funny things.

This morning, her temperature was down to 99. She still has a fever and was sweating last night. The antibiotics are giving her a horrible taste in her mouth and altering the taste of water and food. I suppose that’s to be expected?… Now she’s up out of bed doing a load of laundry, so that’s another good sign.

Thanks for your continued prayer as she has 5 more days of these pills to endure.

Would you be so kind as to pray for Robin. She’s got an infection (UTI) which she feels may have reached her kidneys. She said she’s never had pain in her back like this with a UTI. We have a doctor at the school right now teaching a class and he has been such a kind provision from the Lord as he came to the house and examined her and wrote her out a lab test sheet and a prescription for antibiotics. The lab test came back just an hour ago showing severe bacterial infection with elevated numbers.

She was holding off on antibiotics as long as she could, but has now decided to take them. She’s got a fever of 103 and has been laying down all day.

Thank you,

Here’s a little update video on the Studio:

While Alec and Sacha were here in the studio, I set them at the podmics and headsets so they could hear themselves how it sounded with the professional mics and headphones. They had a little fun conversation and then I thought to hit the record button and caught the last bit of their conversation. Today, I decided to doctor it up a little with the features I am learning on the recording equipment and the software. Alec was not really up close to his mic and there were a bunch of bump noises as well as email notifications that were coming in on my computer at the time the recorder was going. Even still, I tried to clean it up as best I could (I’m still very green at this stuff) and then add some effects so that I could send them a copy as a fun memory. It was a good learning experience for me to explore more features and I think it will be special for them to hear.

They left yesterday, so I was a little sad. I sent them the audio file just now (haven’t heard back from them yet), but I thought I’d pass it on to you too so you could hear their voices and maybe be inspired in your prayers for them. On Sacha’s leg, she has a huge tattoo. Within the tattoo are two scripture verse references. One says “Psalm 25”, and the other says “2 Corinthians 12:10”. Reading the Pslam may tell you something that is in her own heart if she has had it tattooed on her body. May the Father draw them to Christ in true conscious union with the Lord Jesus.

Some other exciting news I received today from Russell regarding radio broadcasting is that through a rather miraculous event today, Russell was able to acquire some AM broadcasting equipment (which new would cost well over 1 million dollars, but Russell got it for about 40k!) This means that the programs will not only be broadcast on SW and FM but now also all through the night on AM, which likely the P’s will be able to hear even on  regular AM radios! This is a huge addition!

Another wonderful piece of news is that we finally figured out what the interface problem was on my brand new equipment here for music. It was a defective cable. We bought a new Thunderbolt 3 cable and voila!… it worked! So, soon I will delve into the music side of the ministry again. For now, I’m trying to keep up with one radio Bible teaching lesson per day, as the Lord leads.

Thanks again for your prayers and supporting-encouraging words.
