Dear Brethren:

The first of May found Betty and I in Pigeon Forge enjoying a couple of days just doing nothing. From there we traveled to South Carolina to visit with our daughters, Brenda, Arlete, and some of the grandchildren.

On our way home we stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast, and just when we were getting ready to eat Betty started having chest pains, so we spent the rest of the day in the emergency room of the hospital in Hendersonville, North Carolina. The doctor ran all kinds of tests and found nothing that indicated she was having any heart problem. The doctor there, after talking on the phone to our family doctor in Lexington, released her to go home, only after I promised to get her to our doctor as soon as possible. The many tests in Lexington showed the same as those in Hendersonville, so our doctor said it probably was a blood clot in her leg that went to her lung and then dissolved before it could be picked up in the tests. She has had no problems since.

Our pastor, Brother Ed Massey, has been away a part of this past month, and I have had the privilege of preaching in his place. He will be gone again this coming Wednesday, and has asked me to fill in for him again.

The last Sunday in May, Betty and I visited the Creekside Baptist Church in Waco, Kentucky, where Dan Jenkins is pastor. This church was wanting to know more about Baptist Faith Missions and asked me to present the videos to be better informed, with the possibility of supporting the work in the future. As always, we enjoyed the visit very much, even though there was a threat of some very bad weather.

We thank the Lord for His blessings, and we are doing just great, and hope you all are also.

In His Name,

Bobby D. Creiglow
