hospital happenings and well drill making

Crystal- Well, a lot of times people don't have pleasant experiences in hospitals, either because their body is ailing them, or their loved ones are sick...but we had some pretty cool things happen in the hospital. Besides the fact that I had a MRI which is a pretty cool thing in itself, the doctor asked Ricky what he does, and then he offered to give free surgeries to the "genuinely needy." Also, a guy recognized Ricky from the tv program (if you didn't know, Ricky & his fam are kind of famous here.) Anyway this guy, Paul Raj, said he used to drink and beat his wife because she was a Christian and he was Hindu (which happens a lot here.) Now, he gave up his job as a Mechanical Engineer and he is preaching for the Lord. He was there for kidney stones, which he said are a result of his former life. He said that an American that he used to work with an his wife (because she never said anything back to him) were the ones that introduced him to Jesus. I could tell that he was probably in a lot of pain, but he was so joyful, which is strange to see because we've noticed a lot of people don't smile very often here, except for the people in the church. It was really crowded and he was the only other smiling face I saw.

Aaron- MY QUEST. I have searched for material a long time to make some well drilling tools. Slowly I have gathered the things I need to do this. Most of the things seem to have fallen from heaven when I least expect them. God has provided for me several times. There was really only two things keeping from making the tools. The first was some cutoff blades for an angle grinder. This was really no problem since I knew I had seen them in a tool shop earlier. The real challenge was that I need a special kind of welding rod to weld high strength steel. The first time I asked the store keep for it he said he didn't have it. Today I prayed before I went to the shop that this obstacle could be conquered. I asked this time with a print out from a web page that I had found. I thought they were going to order me a case and I would have to wait a week to get them, but they gave me a whole case. I think they had them all the time they just didn't understand what I was asking for. So I was able to start work on my drilling tools today. I am half done with one set. Of course I will need to test them before we use them. Please keep us in your prayers. Pray for water at the bottom of whatever hole we make.
