Give thanks –
· that Beryl was able to travel down to Asuncion last Thursday. She expects to be staying till Monday
· that she has had good conversations with Rhett and that he sounds very well
· that Rhett has told Beryl she can have help from his friend in Filadephia with the repair of her car
· that a plumber was able to repair problems in her Asuncion house
· that she and the people in her area have been protected from the viral infection
· that because they all have to wear masks when they travel out, respiratory infections are rare at present
· that immunisations have resumed for the children, at the Rio Verde clinic
· that Beryl is up to date with paying her staff and all is well with them
· that thanks to good internet connection, Beryl was able to speak to Bev Richardson who is in Oxford waiting to get back to Asuncion, and working on line at present
· that Beryl was able to speak to Tim Curtis who is very grateful for this precious time with his father, in the UK
· that Claire Holmes is free of cancer after treatment
Please pray for –
· wisdom for the Government as they decide if they need to re-introduce restrictions because some people are ignoring social distancing and there have been new cases
· the post to get started again. The church office has re-opened but no post is getting through at present
· a terrible drought in the Chaco with a major river now dry
· for water supplies to communities in the Chaco, especially those needing Government water tankers to come
· for protection from water borne diseases for the people in the Chaco
· for one of Beryl’s cats in Asuncion that has cancer and may need to be put down rather than have treatment, a hard decision to make
Beryl sends her grateful thanks for all you do for her, for your prayers and your gifts

Hopefully an email blessing – John 7 v 37 – 39. Jesus stood in the Temple, understood to be God’s dwelling place on earth by the worshipping community there, and announced loudly – ‘All who are thirsty, come to me and drink’. The Temple of God had moved and is now within.
