Dear Brethren:

We have made only one trip out of town since my last letter, and that was last Sunday night when we went to visit First Baptist Church of Science Hill, Kentucky where Brother Ed Massey serves as pastor. Ed and his family are going to Florida for a short vacation and he invited me to fill his pulpit this coming Wednesday night while he is away.

After visiting my dermatologist I have spent the following four weeks treating the pre-cancerous skin lesions on my arms. This treatment is rather painful. The medicine causes the skin to blister and peel off the outer layer, thus removing the lesions. After the peel off, it takes about two weeks to heal, so I still have about two weeks to go to complete the total of six weeks. These lesions are the result of being exposed to the tropical sun. My advice to those who want to maintain a good suntan, don't do it, because the result is not pleasant. Betty's physical health has been some better this month, for which we are thankful unto the Lord.

My video editing computer has had a problem for several weeks now and has refused to cooperate with me until I get a doctor to heal it, but I can still reproduce any of our videos to mail to any that might want them, and can still present them to any church that would invite me to make the presentation, or would be happy to mail them to you.

We are ready to start the New Year and will do so anticipating great blessings from the Lord. We desire the same blessing for each of you.

In His Name,

Bobby D. Creiglow
