Letter to my sponsor....

(Some of you know that I get to email my sponsor everyday as part of my visa requirements. My sponsor is Tom Gritts, in Wolverhampton, England. I thought I'd just use that email today as my update.)
Dear Brother Tom,
If I could go back to the USA for just one day, I would chose today. I always get “homesick” (not really but close) on the opening day of deer season! My dad and brother are out hunting today. I started praying for them yesterday as I was out walking and a deer jumped the fence ahead of me. I guess the Lord knows what I like.
We had a good day yesterday and today. Yesterday morning I prepared a message on, “Soul Prosperity” from III John. In the afternoon we enjoyed a beautiful walk by a reservoir in the Pentland Hills Regional Park. Afterwards we went to Krispy Kreme. As we sat there for a bit an employee asked us if we would like a tour. So, the boys and I put on hair nets and went back and made some donuts. That was fun.
This morning Benson and I had a good witnessing opportunity with ________________. He is 64 and wishes he had my faith. I told him that he could have it and tried to share with him how he could have it. We didn’t have any opportunities until then. I had told Benson that maybe the Lord was speeding us on to an appointment. We wouldn’t have gotten that far if we had chatted with more people. ___________________ would also have been gone as he had something scheduled just after 12.
We met Alec this afternoon to walk to a burned out mansion near us. It is an historic property.
Katie is out with Laura tonight on ladies’ visitation. So, I’m holding down the fort. Praying for your service tomorrow,
Ben
