, it's just, how many people know, remember Bob and Benny, boy, it's, we're gonna turn over folks. But anyway, Bob and Betty Bell have been, actually, Bob was an elder here for, for several years, and, they were, they are involved in a ministry which coordinates the, getting missionaries to the field. And, they're in retirement age now, so tapering off on that, but are still somewhat involved in it. And I talked to them yesterday and they're, they're doing well and have some, some of the, the common health issues of, of, advancing years and so on.
Bob has, has two fake knees. And he really loves those quite a lot and it has enabled him to walk around quite, quite a bit more easily but anyway, I just wanna encourage you to be in prayer for them as they just continue their ministry to to just organization and, and getting missionaries to the field and so on and so just remember them during the week and there we go, happy day hand it over to Milton. Oh, good morning. As we begin this morning, I I want to have you parents imagine.
Yourself receiving this following letter from your college-aged daughter, OK? Imagine that your daughter is away at college, out of, out of the city, out of state, you haven't heard from her, from her for 2 or 3 months. And then you receive a letter in the mail from your daughter and it goes like this. Dear Mom and dad, since I left for college, I have been remiss in writing and I am sorry about my thoughtlessness and not having written sooner.
I'll bring you up to date, but before I do, please sit down. Are you sitting down? It is very important that you sit down before you continue reading this letter. I am getting along pretty well now that the skull fracture and concussion I suffered recently is pretty well healed....
