We are grateful to the Lord for giving Margie another good night. After her very tiring episode with a choking spell a couple of days ago, we have prayed much and asked you also to remember her. Thank you so much.
Yesterday despite her weakened condition, Margie did the washing and ironing. She is determined to move onward even with these physical set backs. I think I have finished all the background work needed to now finalize our report for the IRS. I hope so. Snow is forecast for today but only a little bit. The 55 mph winds out of the north have subsided. Last night the temperature was supposed to be 12 degrees, but was 25. That's good. Rawlie, our son, called this morning and concurred with us that we will not be driving to his place tomorrow for an afternoon lunch. It is snowing there and we probably couldn't get up the hill to their home.
About the Poulsons
- Ralph and Margie
- The Poulsons served with ABWE in Brazil for 25 years. Their son Rawlie was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and their daughter Joy in Iquitos, Peru. Joy was born developmentally disabled and eventually they returned to the States to find help for her. God providentially led them to Shepherds Baptist Ministries, Inc. where she has been a resident for 43 years. The Poulsons returned to Northeast Brazil to the town of Natal and Ralph was Director of the Berean Seminary for a few years. Because of health concerns, they returned to their home town of Ferndale, WA in December of 1980 and later their home church, First Baptist, called Ralph to pastor the church. After 18 years at First Baptist, at age 68, Ralph resigned and he and Margie prayed for the Lord to lead them to their next ministry. Shepherds Baptist Ministries, Inc., asked them to consider being a western representative in 8 states. For 10 years we represented Shepherds in the 8 western states, including Alaska. What a privilege it has been and we continue now at home doing various projects for Shepherds so that I can care for Margie as she recovers.
