Even though we are in a relatively safe area here, as we do not have local cases of the Corona virus, we are indeed very concerned about other regions of the world where the pandemic is now severe. Thankfully for us, at least for the moment, we are able to move around, within the boundaries of this tiny territory. Also, we are blessed to live in one of the few places in this territory where nature is abundant. We can enjoy lots of outside activities and even some sports. Jason, for example, has been able to join a local football team, therefore training and playing the scheduled games is now part of our weekly routine. Donna loves to swim and while the public swimming pool was open, she was there swimming regularly. Jorge takes to the local hills and walks the trails looking for locations of photographic interest. Well, we try to exercise anyway possible in our situation..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a more professional approach, Ben has also been putting his photography skills to good use. His recent photographic session with Emanuel, Mandy and their children, shows his photographic talent and insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday fellowship happens every week around 11 am at our home. We are not many in attendance, but we are persistent in praising God and reading His Word together. We always close by committing our cares and concerns and everything else that needs, to the Lord in prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, in October, Zach (of Philip and Julie), turned 5 and also Donna turned one more year on the 26th… Great weather and small but meaningful celebrations were held here at our home, with the presence of the whole family – some through Zoom. We truly enjoy our birthdays and we are thankful for them, especially considering the alternative\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our family in other parts of the world we receive news that they are well – that is what we are praying for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
