We never cease to be amazed at how fast time flies. Of course we know it really passes always at the same rate, but as we age, it "appears" to go faster. We are encouraged with Margie's improvement. She still has to take things quite easy and not overdo in anything. We needed to shop yesterday but she was not able to get out and go into the stores. She did manage to do a little shopping in two of them but mostly stayed in the car while I
shopped. I had some computer "glitches" which I was trying to iron out also and will continue on those today. We are grateful for a good rest last night. If the weather warms up a bit today I may be able to get out and paint the 9 boards left at the front of the house and then move to the east side and try to get some of it painted before the next predicted rain arrives.
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.
