October brought appreciated visitors but also took our first real mission attendee. Ron had attended several of our services and was doing a Bible study with us had to return to Phoenix to find work. He was a great encouragement to us as we could see the Lord working in his life. We drove him to Phoenix and left him with our prayers.

Later in the month though we had wonderful visitors. Family and friends made a visit that really cheered our hearts. Our daughter Susan, her husband Jason and of course our first grandbaby Calvin escaped the warm temps of Houston to be with us for a few days. A few days later our daughter Lauren came out also. If all that was not enough of a blessing we also had Mark, Jackie, Benjamin and Alyssa Risinger come up from Scottsdale, Az to be with us as well. We had two Sundays with visitors though we knew they couldn't stay it was pure joy to have them with us. It gave us our highest attendance yet in Flagstaff with 9.

Jason Risinger, my son-in-law, and Mark, his older brother, were members of my youth group at Bayshore Baptist. I watched them grow up into two of my most faithful and dependable men. I have prayed with them, played with them, hiked with them and worshiped with them. They are sure proof of the Lord's promise in Mark 10:29 that whatever we give up for His sake will be rewarded a 100 times over in this life. Mark and Jason and their family's relationship with us are among the greatest reward we can experience as servants of the Lord.
