We were incredibly blessed to be able to get out of the city again just before covid case number started to skyrocket. We got away to our favorite beach, and got to bring some friends with us. We actually had a ministry trip on that same island (see next/above post - "River Village"), so we took advantage of being there anyway to enjoy some beach days first.
Ben used some of his Christmas money from grandparents to go out on a jet ski with some friends.
Lots of time spent in the pool and just hanging out. With so many days spent locked down in our homes in the last two years, especially the kids, it has made us cherish these chances to get out and be together so much more than we used to!
Every beautiful beach day comes to an end, but wow what beautiful endings.
While we were at the beach, cases truly skyrocketed - actually increased 3,600+% in just a couple weeks. Because of that, our much-anticipated "blended learning" at school where the kids would be back in the classroom a couple days a week for the first time in almost 2 years, that start was delayed. This means that Ben started his final semester of high school the way he has been doing school since sophomore year - online. Disappointing to say the least, especially since our hopes had been so high. However, since we now have all the right permissions, we should be able to get right into the classroom as soon as case numbers decline and we are reduced to "Alert Level 2" (currently at 3). Please pray with us that case numbers will go down quickly so these guys can get in the classroom at least a little for their senior year.
