January update

We enjoyed our holidays with Leigh Ann and Tatum.    We did not do anything spectacular but we enjoyed some good food, exchanged some gifts and quality time with our girls here in Florida.  As always, we are thankful for health, peace and family.    We enjoyed brunch at our condo Christmas morning instead of a lunch or dinner meal together.   We enjoyed high-calorie foods that are not healthy but were delicious.

Our weather was cold during the holidays but has moderated with 50-60 degree mornings and afternoons in the 70's.    

Ronald has made contact with a possible surgeon who he hopes will remove the polyps from his colon when they return to the U.S. in February.   Gigi was able to successfully get a renewal of her VISA/Green Card from Immigration.

The children at CEA had a wonderful Christmas with parties, good food and gifts from many sources.

Sagar, our worker in Nepal is gradually improving in health once again and the young girl in the hospital in Nepal has recovered and returned to the safe house.

Ron had some medical testing done two weeks before Christmas.  The tests revealed a cyst on one kidney.   We are awaiting the doctor's advice, but we believe he will be seeing a urologist soon to get an opinion.     

It is tax season.  I am busy preparing and sending tax letters to our donors.  It was a good year for our mission work and things continue onward as we take care of up to 350 very poor girls who need an education and care.   We love and appreciate all of our supporters who are tenderhearted toward the young girls and are willing to sacrifice to make it possible for them to have a safe life, everything they need and the opportunity for an education and hope of heaven.    Many of the girls would never go to school past the 5th grade and none are likely to ever open a Bible if they were not under the care of our ministers and their wives.     We see the great changes in the girls' lives and we are thankful that you make it possible.   Please pray for our workers and the girls.  

Wishing good health and happiness to each of you.   Praying for peace and the love of God to be with you in your daily walk with HIM.    God bless you all in this new year!
