I have not had any unusual news to report and that is good because we are doing well. Our health is stable...not great but good. We have some sleepless nights and tired days but overall, we are in good health. Ron is swimming every morning and his mobility to get around and take care of himself is about the same as it was a year ago.
Ron will see a mobility specialist in St. Pete the first week in June. We will find out then if there is anything we need to do differently.
The condo pool is heated until May 1st. I hope weather will be warm enough by then to keep the water warm. The water is now at 89 degrees but the nights are still cool and the breeze is crisp. I hand Ron a towel to dry off as soon as he comes out of the water. We go early before others come to the pool so he has plenty of room to swim as it is a small pool. He looks forward to his exercise and it is a break from the computer work for me to go with him and be sure he is safe.
Ronald and Gigi will arrive about noon on April 26th. Leigh Ann and Tatum will join us here for lunch. It has been a year since they were here so we are excited about their visit. I will prepare a good salmon lunch and salad for all of us to enjoy together. On Sunday morning, Ronald will present a power point report about our two mission works to the River Road church of Christ in New Port Richey where we now attend.
As the school year ends soon, Ronald and Gigi will bring in a few more children to live at Casa Esperanza of Angels as they expand their work. They post many pictures and their newsletter on Facebook.
We continue to work nearly every day on the computer, keeping up with the mission work requirements. I help with the Philippine Mission work in addition to our work in Asia.
Save Asian Souls continues to add a few girls to our program. A new safe house in Laos will be ready to add 14 girls in a few months and 20 very poor girls in Nepal are being added to our program. In total, we probably care for 320 girls on a regular basis, providing housing, food, clothing and schooling for them. They are all under the care of a local minister (and his wife) of the church. We need more sponsors for the girls. A few girls leave after they graduate from high school but our number of girls remains above 300 all the time.
The church building for the group that left the Baptist church in Nepal is almost completed. I think about 20 people were converted from that group and our supporters gave money to build them a building for worship. They were meeting in a hen house after leaving the other group. I know they will be thrilled to have a new place to worship. I will have a picture to post soon.
Have a nice Easter weekend, praising our God for the sacrifice of His son for our deliverance from sin and giving us the hope of heaven! May God bless all of you!
With many thanks to our family, friends and supporters.
