It's a beautiful day today! Big, puffy, white clouds floating in a clear, bright, blue sky......low humidity (down to 40%), palm trees swaying in the light breeze, pleasant temperature of 82 degrees. A beautiful day indeed for a flight to heaven.
We just received word that Euddy's grandfather, Jose, has made the final crossing just a few hours ago. Euddy said he was there today and his grandfather was trying to say something. They couldn't understand what he was saying. Euddy had a service with those who were there. Euddy left, another lady from the church went and read the Bible to Jose. While she was reading, she said he gently closed his eyes and was gone. In spite of his previous intense pain, it seemed the Lord gave him a peaceful departure.
What a glorious hope to know another soul has landed in heaven. If it wasn't for that very fact, we would not be here. Yet that is the very reason we are here - to rescue souls from hell, one at a time.
Doug has already gone to be with the family and hold a funeral service at 5:00 p.m. They do not embalm here, unless you're wealthy, so everything happens immediately. However, burial will be tomorrow.
Anna, Euddy's mother is here in the D.R. for a few months. She has taken all of this extremely hard as it is her father. If you think of it, please remember Anna, Euddy and the family in your prayers.
