Shalom, dear all!

Thank you for faithfully praying for us. I have been spending time making healthy and nutritious food for myself this month. Working on only one thing or going on only one event a day, I have managed not to need to spending time in bed all day. But I need to be aware of my limit. Not getting enough rest, my gums and my throat would be badly swollen. I thank God that He makes my gums and my throat play the roles as alarms to me.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安。

感謝大家忠心為我們代禱。這個月我終於有空可以多花費時間為自己做健康又營養的食物。又透過放慢腳步，盡量一天只做一件事(或只參赴一趟聚會)，可以做到一整個月都沒有一次整天臥床。但是我還是得注意自己目前的極限，只要稍一缺乏休息，我的牙齦跟喉嚨就會腫得厲害。我感謝神讓我的牙齦跟喉嚨當我的警報器。

Kellen would like to thank you all for praying for her sermon. The sermon went well even though she was in great pain. And after resting in bed for two days, she feels better now.

Kellen想要謝謝大家為她的講道代禱。雖然她背痛得厲害，講道還是很順利。講完道後臥床兩天，她現在有比較好了。

After talking with the dentist I usually go to and praying for guidance of God, I have decided to have conservative treatment with my periodontal disease. Too big a destruction does not mean a solution to a problem. Over the years, God has been training me like this to make decisions out of peace instead of fear.

跟我長期看牙的醫師談過，也尋求上帝的指引，我決定我的牙周病還是採取保守治療好了。過大的破壞不見得可以使問題得到解決。多年來，上帝一直在這樣訓練我做決定出於平安，而不是出於恐懼。

Our church had our monthly ladies’ fellowship last Friday. We talked about what all our sufferings in life had meant to us. Well, each of us had different answers. There is a Chinese expression, “Eight or nine out of ten in life would not happen as what we would be delighted with.” But in the life of Jesus Christ we would appreciate the other "ninety" that we have kept ignoring.

上星期五我們教會有一個月一次的婦女團契聚會。我們談論到這一生中所遭遇的災難對我們有何意義。可想而知，每個人的答案都不一樣。中文有一話說「人生不如意事，十有八九。」然而，在耶穌基督的生命裡，我們會激賞一直忽略的那「九十」。

Jesus has come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

耶穌來是要使人得生命，並且得的更豐盛。

Please remember us in your prayers.

敬請在禱告中記念我們：

1. May God be in charge of the number of total cases of COVID-19 in PNG .

3. May God cure my periodontal disease.

4. May God enable me to rest well and the inflammation within me can be reduced.

5. Kellen and I would like to receive vaccinations for COVID-19. May God heal us and enable us to be fit enough for the vaccination.

求神醫治，使Kellen和我身體狀況好起來，以便接受新冠肺炎疫苗的施打。

All for Him

願神得榮耀
