1) Kathleen's vaccination status - With the recent news of air travel being restricted for unvaccinated Canadians, we have run into an issue. Kathleen is currently unvaccinated. Kathleen is concerned about taking the vaccine while nursing Duncan. Feeling like she now has no choice but to be vaccinated in order to return to Senegal has her very troubled. Please pray with us as Kathleen decides whether or not to get the vaccine and if she does that both her and Duncan would remain healthy.

3) Duncan Update - Duncan is almost 3 months old now. His weight is up to about 10lbs now. He is doing well and the doctors have seen no medical issue with him thus far. Praise the Lord!
4) Remote Work - Supporting the school remotely continues to go well. I was speaking with my co-worker (Matt) who is alone in the IT Dept on Campus at the school. We had noticed that we are starting to feel "caught up" as things were very busy at the beginning of the school year. I'll be taking some time off this month as I want to try to make the most of my time with family and friends while I am out West.
5) Covid in Senegal - Senegal currently only has 28 active cases in the country. This is in a country with 16 million people. Pray that the Lord continues to protect the people of this beautiful country. We Praise the Lord for the low case count which allows the school to continue to operate normally (with some restrictions).
