Good day all, Our News Letter is out for July.

That is right we at the Adventure Learning Centre have a news letter. It has been a while since we have had it. But I am excited to say yes, it is back. The web page that is below, just cut and paste it on the inter net of your chose.
http://e2ma.net/map/view=CampaignPublic/id=29211.2226078749/rid=3e6f1c379d42e7704016eb8b4464bf0f
I hope you take the time to check out news letter and see all that has been going on here during this summer camp. Plus the request for HELP TOO. Please keep that is your prayer time too.
I am so ready for this summer to be over. Our temperatures have been averaging around 92 degree each day. I can tell you this, it might not sound like it is hot. But working out side each day under the sun, it is HOT.
This last week has been a joy for me, pretty much the tings I have fixed, are still running and by His grace I pray they will continue.
Short story, yesterday I was working on one of our staff's car. It needed a new gas tank put in plus I put in a lift kit too. I can tell you this. If I had someone to run for the tools and that extra hand to hold it in place. It would have not taken all day to get these two small jobs done. Put by His grace and giving me the willingness to do it. It got done and I believe it is fixed. Before this new tank. I have taken this gas tank down three time before to have it welded. Each time it was fixed. But a month goes by and it is leaking again. So thank you Jesus for your help and the willingness to do it right this time.

This machine below is going to save us BIG money.

Yes it has been a while since I have written, I really have been having a lot of things breaking down. But I have great news. Yesterday William came out and checked over our new Reverse osmosis machine. He is the one that installed it about month ago or so. I have not really had the time to check it out and see what was going on. Adam and I changed out the filters two days ago, and the machine would not reset itself. Adam called and William came out and it looks like we are back on line. We tested the water with his little tester. It is reading 0.035. Then Adam asked him to test our Aquapure water we buy here, $4.25, 5 gallons. It tested out 0.033. So our water is as good as theirs now. I will be taking a water sample to the this place that charge $44.00 to give a full test. We are really looking forward in using this machine. If you know anything about buying water. We spend about $160.00 a week just on that. Plus I know we spend about the same down at the Camp too. I really am looking forward in using it and saving us money. The reason we are getting another test is. Every one here drinks this water,Aquapure. We as missionaries get it free, as part of our time here. We just want to make sure.

Our New reverse osmoaia machine.

It has taken me a while to find out what the trouble is.

It was two weeks ago today that our big World Bus broke down. Yes she is not doing to good. Michello and I towed her back to ALC and she has not been feeling good. I did all I could to see the problem was. But I don't know that much about transmissions. So I got a hold of a guy on the island here, Sam. He came out and I noticed while driving in I could see two beer bottles inside of his car. I asked the Lord what to do? I listen to Sam and he told me that there is really only two main things that can go wrong with a transmission. There more but if it just stops and will not move forward or reveise. It is the Oil pump, or the torque converter. I listened and asked more questions and what he was saying made since. I asked him how much he would charge us to help me change it out from the older bus? He said $500.00. I was not really that supprised. I told him I would call him back later on.
Mean while I talked it over with Adam and he said maybe we can get someone form Calvary, Ft Laud. to come over and help us out? I said great. Now I just need to wait and see if it will happen or not.
I went on line to see what a one Torque converter cost? $795.00. So that answer my first question. To take from Peter and give to Paul. So I am sorry to say that our old Solar Bus will be not drivable for sure now. Before I could drive it to where needed a air compressor is needed. But now no more.
Now I need to wait on our guest to come over and give me a helping hand. Mark and I moved it to the pad to make it easier to work on. I dropped the drive train yesterday.

I am stealing from Peter to pay Paul.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to pass on to you all. How much I love you you guys and thank you for your prayers. I went to see my doctor yesterday. He showed me that everything is normal. He still not sure what the problem could be. I told him that it was a time for rest. Plus I knew that there was many praying for me too. So I just laughed and told him and his students that I really don't want to see them again. I looked back to the way I said it and I hope they understand what I was trying to say? I meant it as saying, we are friends now and the only time I want to see them is during good times. Not in the hospital. I really do want to say thank you again for your prayers. I am so blessed to know how much people really do love me and just knowing that.
Yesterday at the hospital I saw Betty Allen. She told me the her doctor told her that Clark her husband is not doing well at all. I prayed with her and she told me that she was going to Calvary Bible and tell Pastor Lee. Folks this couple has been part of Calvary Bible many years. Clark her husband back in Aug of 2008, be came paralyzed. Could have been a stoke. He really has not improved since that has happen. I remember talking with him during Christmas, he was telling me that he was doing much better and he would be walking very shortly. During June he got sick and came into the hospital and even got worse. Please if you think of him, say a prayer for God to do some miracles. The e mail address you see under is her's. Please drop her a line or two.

Yesterday was our Independence Day here.

During this morning, our sheep were attacked by these dogs.

A friend of mine sent this to me and I beleive everyone needs to know this.

My Friend,

I stand in Judgment now,
And feel that you're to blame somehow.
And never did you point the way.
You knew the Lord in truth and glory,
But never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim;
You could have led me safe to Him.
Though we lived together on the earth,
You never told me of the second birth,
And now I stand this day condemned,
Because you failed to mention Him.
You taught me many things, that's true,
I called you 'friend' and trusted you,
But I learnt now that it's too late,
You could have kept me from this fate.
We walked by day and talked by night,
And yet you showed me not the Light.
You let me live, and love, and die,
You knew I'd never live on high.
Yes, I called you a 'friend' in life,
And trusted you through joy and strife.
And yet on coming to the end,
I cannot, now, call you 'My Friend.'

These are the instructions for a colonoscopy

at Wall Mart

Tired of constantly being broke & stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife with himself as the beneficiary, and then arranging to have her killed.
A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious dark-side underworld figure who went by the name of 'Artie.'
Artie then explained to the husband that his going price for ing out a spouse was $5,000.
The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money.
Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, and reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down payment for the dirty deed.
A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Wal-Mart
SuperCenterstore. There, he surprised her in the produce department and
proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands and as the poor
unsuspecting woman drew her last breath and slumped to the floor.........
The manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the scene. Unwilling to leave any living witnesses behind, ol' Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well.
However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by the hidden security cameras & observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could even leave the store.
Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the hapless husband who was also quickly arrested.

The next day in the newspaper, the headline declared ...
*(You're going to me for this ... )
*ARTIE CHOKES 2 for $1.00 AT WAL-MART!'

T-bone steaks, yellow roses.

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying groceries. I wasn't hungry. The pain of losing my husband of 57 years was still too raw. And this grocery store held so many sweet memories.
He often came with me and almost every time he'd pretend to go off and look for something special.. I knew what he was up to... I'd always spot him walking down the aisle with the three yellow roses in his hands.
He knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few items and leave, but even grocery shopping was different since he had passed on.
Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for two. Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and remembered how he had loved his steak.
Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was , slim and lovely in a soft green pantsuit. I watched as she picked up a large package of T-bones, dropped them in her basket.. hesitated, and then put them back. She turned to go and once again reached for the pack of steaks.
She saw me watching her and she smiled.. 'My husband loves T-bones, but honestly, at these prices, I don't know.' I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes.
'My husband passed away eight days ago,' I told her. Glancing at the package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my voice. 'Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together.' She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes as she placed the package in her basket and wheeled away
I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I should buy. A Quart, I finally decided and moved on to the ice cream. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice cream cone. I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward the front. I saw first the green suit, then recognized the pretty lady coming towards me. In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile! I had ever seen.. I would swear a soft halo encircled her hair as she kept walking toward me, her eyes holding mine.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears began misting in my eyes. 'These are for you,' she said and placed three beautiful long stemmed yellow roses in my arms. 'When you go through the line, they will know these are paid for.' She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what she'd done, what the roses meant, but still unable to speak, I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my vision
I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue wrapping and found it almost unreal. How did she know? Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. Oh, you haven't forgotten me, have you? I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel

Hello my friends and family.

I just have a quite note for you all. Please keep Pastor Lee in prayer during this next week. He has been having some trouble with his back and other parts. I know God is using him here in Nassau and he has so much more to do.
I just want to say thank you so much for your prayers this last week for me. I hope this coming week is a blessing to you.

This is a up date on all that has happen this last week.

Hey everyone, Yes I am still a live? It really was a time for me to get some rest, I guess? Monday afternoon, I started feeling a pain in my right side. Thinking it was gas.But the pain got worse.Then I thought of Gio and Debby. They both had their appendix pulled out this last year. So the next day, Tuesday. I called up my doctor for appointment. Got there and he told me, he was not sure. Maybe appendix or stones. He told me to get a ultrasound. Looking at my wallet. I decided to go to Princess Margaret Hospital. How long could it be??? Maybe a four to five hours waiting? I got there around noon on Tuesday. I saw one of the doctors at 8pm. He checked me out. He took his finger and looked like he was measuring. Then he just pushed down on the spot. I jumped off the table. He said yes that is you appendix. Then around a hour later I saw the surgeon. He looked and played too. Yes that is your problem. They put me on a IV. told me that they will do the operation in the morning. 2:30 am I got in a roll around bed. Got up to the men's surgical ward. I saw the doctor up there and he looked at me and said let us wait. So I sat around for two days waiting, during that time I saw another doctor. Dr. Munroe. Really a nice guy. Just wait he told me. No food or water, just IV. I kept asking about the ultrasound. You don't need it. I talked with a friend Mark. Mark has been talking with nurse, Freddy Sands. She told him that I still need the ultrasound. So I asked again. Okay. So yesterday, Friday I got it done. Not sure what it said. But I am home now and I can tell you this. I really am glad I went and had this time to relax and just talk with others there and make some new friends. Next Tuesday morning I am getting a colonoscopy. Still not sure where the pain came from or where did it went. I believe it was your prayers that God just wanted me to experience He grace and love from others and to others too. I am so glad to know that I have family here and in Fort Lauderdale too. I am doing well and trying to rest this week-end so I can get back do the rest of the work that He has called me to do. Thank you so much for all the prayers and phone calls I received during my time in PMH. I am using this letter to send to everyone that has been told about this last week. Please pass this on to others that might not get it. Thank you all. I love you and I hope I was used by God during this time too. Bye Tom.

This is Princess Margaret Hospital
