Thank You
Here's a really neat note from Dale:
It is sure good to be home. All it takes is one night in the Machachi prison to make you really appreciate home in a new way. Nine days and nights and you have plenty of time to think about all of the incredible ways God has blessed us each and every day. Spending time with my fellow prisoners and getting to know their current life stories brought home to me again how very blessed I am. God allowed me to begin some new friendships with some folks I would have never met any other way. I am committed to praying for them. I had opportunity to share my faith and the truth of the Gospel with them over the days as well as share my Spanish Bible as they asked to borrow it to read. My prayer is that I was indeed His light to those men whom God loves so very much and desires to bring to a saving knowledge of Himself. Please pray with me for Carlos, René, Jorge, Wilson, and Wilson #2.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers, phone calls, visits, and food you brought me while I was in Machachi. Thank you too for looking after Katie and encouraging her while I was away. We certainly experienced God's grace and blessing through each one of you. Thank you Thank you! I had such great peace throughout the whole experience and was not ever really worried or discouraged. It was really neat to experience God's answers to your prayers.
