Betty's Second Stroke more severe Please pray

                                            My letter about Betty’s Stroke

I am sitting in my motorhome across the street from Grace Community Church in Pharr, Texas where Wally Morillo is the pastor. 

 

Betty was taken to the Rio Grande Hospital because of having another stroke where she could not talk, stand, or walk. At this point, she is completely bedridden. This has left her right side (leg and arm) without mobility. 

 

My prayer request:

Repair the wiring in the brain. An electric fan cannot cool you from the heat if the other end is not plugged in the outlet.

Regain total use of speech, arm, and leg.

Reschedule our plans. Last week when Betty was in the Methodist Hospital in Conroe, Texas, she texted me and said, “My love, go and preach and show them what a wonderful husband I am married to. I am right where God wants me.”

Remember that some things in our lives will not be our call but will be the Lord’s. We want you to pray that we will keep trusting the Lord as he walks us through this stage of our life.

You may ask a question in the comment section of my Ralph Yankee Arnold FaceBook page. I will post any updates there, so, please do not call her number. As of this moment, no changes have been made in my preaching schedule. A lot depends on Betty’s progress. 

 

Please feel free to share. Three years ago, (in Jan) I was in the VA hospital for 23 days where I could not stand or walk because of Covid. Two months later I was driving and preaching across America. I believe it was also due to the prayers from God's people who prayed and shared.

 

 Many times, progress is slow with results from a stroke, so updates will be when there is a significant change. I have never faced a situation like this before, and I will have many decisions to make. So, if you don't mind, please include me in those prayers.

This was a present from me to my parents Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold at Christmas (Hand Casting)They left it here at the house because they weren't finish drying and had to be painted. but these hands mean so much to me right now I think they did a beautiful job of not moving for 10 solid minutes. showing their love for 65 years and with God's blessings many more to come.

 The Sword, The Hulk, The Sendoff, and Betty's hospital update

The greatest things about remembering Dr. Hank Lindstrom, was that he was a soul-winner. This is in honor of Hank and another one of his stories. Share if you like.

Bro. Arnold,

Greetings to you and Mrs. Arnold! In your newsletter on Calvinism, you hit a home run! I would like to reprint it in the Sword of the Lord if you will give me an okay to do so. Dr. Shelton Smith (It came out in the Jan 3rd issue, page 8.)

I count it a great honor to have an article printed in the Sword of the Lord. I started attending the Sword Conferences back around 1962. I heard Dr. John R. Rice, Dr. Curtis Hutson, Dr. Lee Roberson, Tom Malone, Jack Hyles, and many more that set my soul on fire. It wasn't so much the clarity of the gospel from every one, but the motivation to do something great for the Lord. Now at 83, I still burn. I have been motivated and I am still motivated above my ability to perform. The Sword helps to supply the logs to keep the fire burning. 

Readers would be upwards of 80,000-100,000 because of how many issues are going into prisons, churches and mission’s work across the globe. There is really no way of knowing how many lives are touched by our paper! Hallelujah!

WHAT A GREAT SEND-OFF

After preaching at Calvary Community Church of Tampa Jan. 5th, we were blessed to have 175-200 of the greatest people in the world give us their blessings beside our motor-home. We will be (Lord willing) going about 15,000 miles for 9 months. Pastor Jesse Martinez led the church in prayer for us. I preached for Pastor Dan Greer of Community Baptist Church in The Woodlands in Texas. Besides freezing temperatures and flood warnings we pressed on. Thanks for your prayers.

 

Friday, Betty became very unstable on her feet and was unable to stand, walk, or speak clearly. I called 911, and they were only a 1/2 mile away. She was taken to the Methodist Hospital where she was diagnosed with a stroke and pneumonia in her right lung. She has been put on stronger blood thinner medicine and taken to rehab this afternoon. She is responding very well but weak. Thank you in advance for your prayers.  We are desirous of her being out in time to head to Wally's down in the valley.

Jana Curtis, (who is my Colorado adopted daughter-I led her to the Lord 50 years ago), came to hear me preach and stayed to help with Betty.
 

Encouraging comments are always comforting to read. Betty reads everyone. Help her feel better.
