This week:

C) The distance learning Preaching course is winding down this week. A good number of students participated, lay and ordained. 

D) Christmas tree and nativity sets are up!

E) My brother and I continue to check out potential suitable retirement community arrangements for our mother. We have regrouped and are proceeding tentatively on a possible option. 

Your prayers are requested for the following:

A) For the printing of the Province of the West Indies Spanish Prayer Book in a timely manner. I have been invited to the public release of the book when it is printed.

B) For the scheduling of my next trip to Belize. I plan to begin discussions this week.

C) For the financial support in 2016 that would enable me to do that which the Bishop of Belize and the Holy Spirit may have in mind.

D) For parish visitations, sermons, potential trips, and other matters over the next few months. For safe and timely travel. 

E) For family members who continue to face major decisions, including suitable arrangements for my mother.  

F) For Lydia and Julie as their semesters wind down this week. For Christmas plans. For family members' health related issues. They are having very good semesters and the work is fitting in on time.

Thank you for praying. I pray for you every day.

God bless you.
