Well I came a back from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. (vacation), now I need to look into the future. I have signed up to stay here until Dec. 2006. Maybe even longer, if that is what He wants. You all can relate to how the money thing works. I need to explain to you all about the cost of living over here is. The picture you see above is filling up my gas tank here. The price of gas has gone from $4.35 to $4.78 in the last two weeks. It took $61.41 to fill my tank on the truck that I brought from Ft. Laud. If you want to read about how and the cost, you can go back in my blog. The date is March 27, 2006, The next picture is price of a 1 six packs of Pepsi, on sale, (that s not a 12 pack). Here are a couple more items that I buy over here, gallon of milk $6.50 and up. A pound of bananas go for $.99 to $1.39, large jar of peanut butter $8.85. The item that I get from City Market are priced for Florida, chips $1.99, I pay $3.99 for the same bag.
Okay that is about the cost of food and gas. Now the electric, (kilowatt hour). In Florida go for $.09, around here it goes for $.27 to $.35. Which you can see there is a big difference. So at this time I have air conditioner, (bedroom) which I have a timer on it and I run it 1 hour while I am falling a sleep.
Okay the reason I am letting you all know this is. Paul let his churches know the hard ships and how he needed some help with his ministry. The Scriptures are 2 Corinthians 6:3 We try to live in such a way that no one will be hindered from finding the Lord by the way we act and so no one can find fault with our ministry of God. Then 2 Corinthians 8:3, 9:1-2. The book of Philippians is one of my favorite. Chapter 1: 3-11, (6) And I am sure that God who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus cones back again.
So guys and s it is so good to be part of a team here that just wants to share the Word and love on these people here. Plus I have a chance to be used for all the missionaries that come over and stay at our ALC Camp. I just want to say thank you again for taking the time to read this and I pray that He has tugged on your heart a little. Bye for now, Tom, Phil 4:13
