   Happy Thanksgiving from Our family!  The up-coming holiday called for some experimenting with new recipes to make some special treats with ingredients that were allowed on my (Jessica's) prescribed diet. The pumpkin muffins were a win for the whole family! And the pecan brownies were pretty good too.           We still had school each day, but at night the kids were enthusiastic to help with the food prep.    Precious family memories were made and sweetest of all was seeing some of our family around the world via technology for which we are so THANKful!                                    Tuesday was Ellis' birthday and we all celebrated his special day!

Hospital visits are emotional for my wife especially. Seeing so many people in such tough circumstances with no choice but to endure for as long as it may take for the doctors to finally get you in their overworked schedule and hope for the best... the crowded wards w...

Happy to help paint! Looking forward to more contacts developing into regular studies as well.  Lots of spiritual meat this past week as there was a men's seminar on Thursday-Saturday which was encouraging and full of Biblical discussion and lessons.  It was great to see friends from afar who came in for the seminar and the wives and kids had fun fellowship in our home.  After a great assembly and fellowship meal on the Lord's Day, we started back into the regular routine of school each morning.  Going into the school and hearing a chorus of "Mr. O! Mr. O!" shouts from all the little ones was fun :) Teaching new songs The University has still not resumed classes, so our brother-in-Christ Moses (who is...
