Wow! This is an adventure we never expected and certainly don't want.
I know that everyone, all over the world, has their version of what the coronavirus crisis has done to them, so I'm not looking for sympathy. We are all in this together.
From a percentage viewpoint, I'm not sure whether we are better or worse off than average. Guam has a civilian population of about 160 K. The last I checked we have 14 people who have tested positive. Noone directly related to PIU has been infected, but we have been impacted. I'll tell you where you can read more in a minute, but:
We know of weddings that are being canceled. We watched the wedding of a friend online. The attendance, counting the preacher was kept to 10. We know of another one that will likely be called off.
In our little circle we know of 5 people who are in mandatory quarantine because of travel restrictions.
Everyone is on edge.
We are well. We have toilet paper. I believe that God will accomplish great things through this crisis. Let us know how we can pray for you.
I have several blogs, for several purposes. One is a parking place for communiques that I have with the students at PIU. The last several posts have been about, what else? They will give you a pretty good idea about life with the Guam Merrells. If you are interested you can read about this adventure that we wish we never had, here.
Thanks for partnering with us in prayer and support.
