It is difficult to find anything interesting to post when we stay home all the time and our days are rather routine. After 10 years of travel in the RV, relocating every two or three weeks, I am enjoying staying in one place in a house but it may get really boring before the winter is over.
Ron continues to work on the RV repairs and touch up painting on pretty days after he answers his emails. We need to get the RVs sold and he is diligent in working toward that end. The American Dream that was donated to us a year ago has been in a shop for repairs that Rou could not do. It is now ready for us to pick up but Ron has not found a dealer to sell the RVs so we will bring it back to our driveway on Friday. He should complete the work on the Tiffin RV we own in another week and then we will clean them up and find someone to sell them for us.
The work has been really hard for Ron because he has one bad shoulder and continuous back pain from having a problem in 2004 that resulted in a disk being destroyed by e-coli in his upper back. He will be relieved to be free of the RV maintenance when we can get these RV's sold.
On nice days, I am working a few hours in the yard to get some physical exercise. I rake leaves in the driveway and walkway and pick up sticks all over the front and back yard. The trees are wonderful in the summer, providing shade and keeping the house very cool,
but in the fall we have the dead limbs falling along with "raining" leaves. The neighbors next door are helping me with the front yard leaves since they have a mower that picks up the leaves very quickly. We will leave the backyard "natural" but we are burning the dead limbs that fall.
We are anxious for the election to be over but we don't expect things to settle down and be peaceful. There are rumors that Georgia is the #1 state to have riots and trouble if President Trump wins the election. These groups that are no different from terrorists, state that they will target the rural and suburb areas since these are where people live who vote Republican and start a civil war. The city of Atlanta has had riots during the summer months due to racial violence with shootings and the police. We will avoid the city until we know things are calm. We have no need to go into Atlanta except to go through the city to get to my dentist for a couple more appointments.
Our work is going well except the border between Laos and Thailand is still closed. We can't add more girls to the house in Mukdahan, Thailand until our worker in Laos can go there to search for vulnerable girls in need of a home and education. Three of our girls in Nepal have been reported to have the virus. The son of the local minister came in to teach a Bible class and reported ill a few days later and then three of the girls got sick. We are waiting for a report about them and any other girls who may have contracted the virus. Schools are still closed in Nepal. The girls can go to their schools three days a week to pick up assignments and do their work from the safe house. Most of our safe houses have a garden nearby so the girls get out of the house to work in the garden but stay close by home.
We are happy to send reports about our work to anyone and we welcome your emails. Ron's email is ronbrown20@gmail.com and mine is patbrown10@gmail.com. Thanks to everyone for being interested in our work and providing us with so much encouragement to continue the work. God has blessed us with wonderful sponsors and continued good health. God bless you all.
