As we\u2019ve been studying Ephesians here in Tanguat, we are reminded to give thanks for all the spiritual blessings that we have as believers in Christ. We are also reminded that we can be thankful that the challenges, sicknesses, pain, and so on that we experience here in this life will one day over. When we experience eternal life in God\u2019s presence, we will no longer face those things! Talk about something to be thankful for! May the promises that we have as believers in Christ encourage us on as we live our lives for Him each day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This month, we thought we\u2019d share something a little bit different with you. We wanted to share pictures with you from this past week in Tanguat. We thought you might like to see a little bit more of what daily life looks like for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the link to the <a href=\"https:\/\/sway.office.com\/bAt9L9PXtnzDEgvp?ref=Link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for your continuing prayers and support for our family! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Swensons<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we&#8217;ve posted here.
