A dear friend of ours recently called 911 and was taken to the ER. It was the first time he had been hospitalized in 90 years. That's quite a record. This man, George, is an encourager. We were told yesterday that his son who came from California to take care of legal matters was amazed at the number of people who had already been to visit him. That is our schedule for today - to visit George in the Hospice House in Bellingham, WA.
Margie and I had a plenty busy day yesterday. She washed, dried and folded all the clothes, washed the bathrooms and fixed the meals. I painted two shifts, mowed the lawn and washed the bathroom floors. So the both of us kept plenty busy and we are thankful especially that Margie apparently did OK with such a work load. As I write this she is still in bed, but I am sure she had a real good night. We are thankful.
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.
