ORLANDO--CONTINUED

Good evening to all:

Week one here at Orlando has turned out to be one which we will NOT soon forget!!! As we were trying to get here, all the traffic accidents. Then the encounter at Azalea Park U.M.C., with the walkway overhang,,,doing roughly $10,000 damage to the 5er and maybe as long as 8 weeks to finish repairs. John finally got the 5er to the repair shop about 15 miles from the church. Judy went and looked for a possible replacement and found one to her liking.The LORD worked out all the snags so that we should be able to take procession next week , which will enable us to keep our scheduled stop for NOMADS at Selma, Ala.

Judy has been working removing varnish from the stage front in the fellowship hall. While John has started to repair the plywood ceiling in the outside hallways. Today John also started the repair work to walkway overhang that caught the 5er.. John has also consulted with the maintenance man on the lighting outages in both the Sanctuary and the fellowship hall. John also advised the committee that they should try to get a professional steamer to clean the carpet on the fellowship stage, instead of replacing it. They did, and it turned out nice.

We have been staying with a family from the church who graciously has taken ALL of us in, BUFORD AND FAY BRUNDAGE (thank-you) WE want to thank all of you, for praying that this all could work out ok in a timely manner.
