We are currently fulfilling a 14-day "self-quarantine" at the CAM/Camino/Avant Mission Home in Dallas. We do enjoy frequent ZOOM or Facebook times with Ellen and her new baby girl, Annie Joy. We look forward to the day when we can F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. get to hold 2-month-old Annie in our arms.

This is our new reality. We continue to work via ZOOM, WhatsApp and other social media formats to connect with missionaries around the world from here in Dallas, especially with those in Guatemala. We have daily ZOOM meetings to encourage and pray for the missionaries.
My friend, Bob, recently wrote to us about the conditions in Guatemala. Currently, the country of Guatemala is on "Lock Down". No buses are allowed at all on the streets, this is making for massive traffic jams. No one is allowed in the streets from 4pm to 4am. No one is allowed outside of their homes during those hours. It is strictly mandated. All land, port and air borders are closed. The Guatemalan church is being creative with their worship services to incorporate live video feed.

Although not confirmed with the COVID-19 (lack of testing), our son-in-law is recovering after weeks of flu-like symptoms. Both Karen and Thomas are in "stay at home" mode in Denver, Colorado. They are slowly on the mend and are just getting back to some forms of working outside their home.
Thank you for your prayers and support! We are constantly reminded of God's faithfulness. May you be encouraged also during these challenging and confusing days. We have connected with several churches during their prayer times via Facebook Live. Awesome!
Psalms 42 (Amplified version)
As the deer pants longingly for the water brooks,
So my soul pants longingly for You, O God.
