There was bad news from the Smith Creek church. The well was doing good until it caved in. The church and the pastor’s house were without water for several days. Finally, a driller came and drilled for a new well, getting water at 305 feet. The good news about this is that the company sent the church a bill for $18,000, but the company wrote it off since it was for the church. Does one believe in prayers with the Lord? What a miracle!
