Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We greet you once again from Brazil.  We are packing soon to come to the States for our furlough time.  Above I have given our Stateside address and home phone number.  If any of you would like us to come to your church, please contact us.  We hope to make it to the Thanksgiving Conference, which will be history by the time this letter is read.

Ursula is suffering severely with an attack of arthritis.  She has a lot of swelling in her hands and feet.  We are trying to get an appointment with a specialist in Paducah, Kentucky.  Pray for her.

We will be leaving the works here in pretty good shape.  Next month we will give a more complete report oin them.  The Altos do Coxipo church celebrated its 10th anniversary this past week.  Many souls have been saved during the ministry of this church.  We will be leaving a new family in charge there.  They are Marcelo and Luciana Carlota.  Pray for them.  They are good people.  We don't know for sure if they will be staying on long-term yet.

The Boa Esperanca church now has a very capable pastor.  They had lost their pastor due to cancer last year.  We have worked hard to strengthen the brethren there in the faith.

Last night I taught the Book of Revelations in a two hour class at the Batista da Fe Church in Varzea Grande.  All I was able to do was give them an outline to study by on their own.  It is exciting to see the world events today.  All points toward the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Even so, Come, Lord Jesus!

God bless all of you and don't forget to contact us.  We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible.  We will be in the States until June.  We are going a month early due to my passport expiring.

Yours in Him,

Harold Draper
