Home Front – March | Jorge and Donna

by Donna

Spring is in the air and we are so happy that the temperatures have risen and the leaves are back on the trees! One can sense the feeling of rebirth in the atmosphere! Hallelujah!
During the month of March we have been making inroads in establishing new relationships on this side of the border. It does take time and effort as most people are extremely busy and life just gets in the way, added to the fact that we are studying Chinese again. a project that goes to infinity and beyond!!! However, we are meeting new brethren in the area and interacting with the neighbors. Gloria has begun using her music talent by teaching piano lessons to a few students from a nearby school. Jason was able to participate in a friendly football tournament organized by a missionary friend. In short, we are integrating into the local community.
We have been returning to Macau every other weekend to have sweet fellowship with the family there. It is a great time of elongated discussions over recent issues, fellowship in the Lord and prayer for one another. Ben and dad have been blessed with beautiful new guitars this past month and are making good use of them. Jason is also very keen on improving his skills and helps out with Sunday morning worship songs. O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. Psalms 95: 1-2 .
In Macau, Joana took her graduating photo shoot with the class of 2017. She is more determined than ever to finish all the classes, make good on her projects and graduate by the end of the year! Go for it Joana!!
Our very happiest wishes, to Julie Soares who celebrated her birthday this month! Philip and Julie keep us up to date with their life in Seattle as we watch them all grow cuter every day via pics and skype! We love them so much and are looking forward to the time when we can be all together again! God is good- all the time!
