Greetings from Montego Bay, Jamaica!   Safe Journey I landed in Jamaica on June 15 th , and wow there were a lot more processes for me to go through while traveling during the pandemic. Jamaica opened borders to foreigners for the first time on June 15 th  and there are many more requirements and they are very strict about them. I am thankful to God for helping me while I travel and helping things to progress smoothly.

Greetings from Council Bluffs, IA Last month my newsletter editor, Suzi, was sick and unable to edit the update I wanted to send about how I was doing in Louisiana and my flight to Iowa on March 18 before the coronavirus got worse in Louisiana. That is why I only sent you a brief update in the previous newsletter. Praise God she was able to help me with my newsletter this month. Keywords: Youth With A  Mission (YWAM), Disciple Training School (DTS), American Sign Language (ASL) Staying in Analco's Home Kari Analco was a former DTS student in 2013. Her husband Casey and their beautiful two children, ages two years old and 10 months old, have invited me to live in their home for a month now. They also have a roommate Hadassah, who plans to join DTS in Jamaica this September. I am very excited for her to have this amazing opportunity! We have learned a lot from each other by encouraging and supporting each other. It helped us to recognize how God is moving through the coronavirus pand...
