Tonight our hearts are filled with thanksgiving to our wonderful Father. Abe is responding more. He tries opening his eyes. Today he also started squeezing  Hertha’s hand when she holds  his hand and he actually stroked her hand once as she was holding his. PRAISE  THE LORD. PRAISE THE LORD. He is good. Thank you for praying. The first days after the accident he did not move his injured shoulder but now he is moving that arm and shoulder more already. Clarence and Gladys left Guatemala Saturday morning. Cornie is still there and Ben and Maria are going tomorrow. God is good. Pamela, a niece to a friend they have made in Guatemala, has been a good companion to Hertha  the last few days. She speaks English. Hertha is in the ICU with Abe six times per day for an hour or more at a time. Every sign of progress is reason for rejoicing in the Lord.
