Dear all...
Just a quick update to tell you that Rebecca does have dengue again. I
have never seen so many people with dengue in all my years here, truly
amazing. The news is reporting around eight thousand cases here in
Manaus, so that means there are twenty or thirty thousand at least,
probably more. I know that there are lines and lines of people waiting
to be treated.
Once again we ask for your patience and prayers. If there is anything
that frustrates us, it is the fact that the work seems to be interrupted
and hindered. We know that these things are beyond our control and the
Lord has said that all things work together for good, so we rest in that
promise.
Rebecca will be spending the next six weeks doing as little as possible
and resting as much as she can. She has been completely grounded!
Thank you for your prayers.
