My mouth will tell of thy righteous acts, of thy deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.
Psa 71:15 RSV
Dear Friends and Family;
We wish to thank you for your prayers and encouraging words to us in these times of critical physical challenges.
It has been 6 weeks since I last wrote asking for urgent prayer for our son Stephen who had a ruptured appendix, and is now recovering after the 2 emergency surgeries 5 days apart. The 1st surgery removed much of the infection but too much still remained for healing. Stephen called and asked if Philip could be with him for the 2nd surgery. Philip left the same day from Tepic and arrived by bus in Torreon 16 hours later. Just before surgery the doctors asked Stephen if he had something to say before the anesthetic.
Stephen replied, “Yes, I want to pray for this medical team.” He prayed for their hands to be skillful, their eyes to be observant to see the unusual and the team to work in unity.
After the surgery the doctors affirmed that all that he prayed for came to pass. Please continue to pray for him as he still has several months of recovery.
Philip had been without a car for several months. When he left Tepic, he heard from the Lord that before he returned home he would find the good used vehicle for which he was searching. This came to pass and he was able to drive home.
Four weeks ago Elizabeth had numerous tests and all were conclusive that there was no trace of cancer in her body.
We are enjoying teaching in the Bible School as we have a class of mature adults who are anxious to learn. We are seeing also that the church is growing and in the main church there have been baptisms almost every other week.
We wish to thank you again for your prayers and financial support. These are so important to us.
November 2011 David & Elizabeth Tolman
