Dear Friends,<\/p>\n
How exciting our lives have been!\u00a0 I am sure you may agree with me that this kind of excitement we can do without! (Virus watching!)<\/p>\n
\u201cA man\u2019s heart devises his way, But the LO<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n RD directs his steps!\u201d Our desires for a trip to Oregon and to Mexico have gone by the wayside as we hunker down at home.\u00a0 We can work from home, so we stay caught up on the data entry and important letters of verification our members need. We have a bit different schedule, but we have settled into it quite well.<\/p>\n Many of our missionaries world-wide are coming home due to the virus.\u00a0 Once they arrive, they will have a 2-week quarantine before they can function in what is our new \u201cnormal\u201d.\u00a0 One gal I e-mailed yesterday was out of her quarantine and ready to shop herself.\u00a0 Pretty exciting stuff-if the stores have what you need!<\/p>\n Pray for these folks coming back from all over the world.\u00a0 Many expenses and adjustments are in store for them.\u00a0 Several new missionaries are having to wait to go to their field of service due to the virus.\u00a0 Our plans often get changed, don\u2019t they!?<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Thank you so much for your prayers or us and your faithful support for our ministry both in prayer, encouragement, and finances.\u00a0 We are so blessed to have friends like you!\u00a0 We thank the Lord for you!<\/p>\n Please let us know how we can best pray for you in these days of uncertainty.\u00a0 We are thankful as I am sure you are, that the L<\/em><\/strong>ORD is our Rock and Fortress!\u00a0 HE changes not! <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Psalm 18, 46, Hebrews 13).<\/p>\n We would like to ask you to be praying for our family.\u00a0 We are trying to stay clear from anyone who may have the Coronavirus so we might be able to go back to Mom and Dad Heckman\u2019s to help care for them.\u00a0 George stopped by David\u2019s house today to drop off something, and David may have the virus.\u00a0 Someone from his work was at the office before he knew he had the virus, and apparently, he had it and left some of it at the office to share.\u00a0 Please pray for David, Joice and little Peter (6 months old)!<\/p>\n Amy and Hector\u2019s little Sophia is due anytime!\u00a0 Please hold their family up in prayer as they have continued to be sick with coughs and allergy related sicknesses.\u00a0 The kids are looking forward to their little sister\u2019s arrival!\u00a0 Amy and<\/p>\n Hector also may have found a truck to purchase for their ministry and family needs.\u00a0 Big news in Mexico soon to be forthcoming!<\/p>\n We have been doing a \u201cre-hab\u201d on our rental house every evening and weekend.\u00a0 Our former renters left quite a lot of work when they moved out.\u00a0 We are praying for wisdom and stamina as we proceed and do what we need to in order to rent it again.<\/p>\n Less than half of the Kitchen has been cleaned (recovery from a roach infestation!) We are doing some window repairs, and a showe<\/p>\n r handle repair. (It was broken or cut off).\u00a0 All the interior doors will need to be replaced.\u00a0 Thanks for praying with us as we continue to work on it.<\/p>\n We may just use it for housing Cody and Beka as they will be moving back to central Florida for their timeof Partnership Development before they go to their field of service Papua New Guinea (North of Australia!). Their desired dateto leave for PNG is January 2021.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t get their news updates, we\u2019d love to encourage you to go online and look!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
