Margie has just started (yesterday) with a trial run on making smoothies. The reason for this is to get fruit, supplements and other nourishment into her system in a manner which she can tolerate. Her appetite is very limited and we were concerned. Yesterday she was doing better already and we are thankful. Margie was not able to attend church and we really miss this. We watched a couple of programs on TV. Our son was here over the week end and we enjoyed his company. He was in and out, doing work on the home they are selling.
Lord willing, I will be painting some more today, doing the kitchen cupboards in the Vista house. It is close to our home so Margie and I keep communication lines open via cell phone, and if she needs me, I can be home in a few moments.
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.
