2021 Update #26 June 28

Drip, Drip, Drip

The weather bureau has issued heavy rainfall warnings for a number of days during the past week, and the rain continues.  The map shows the current heavy rain advisory, and we are the small red dot.

This news seems positive because we were praying for rainfall to relieve the drought.  BUT, the waterproofing work that was done on our house last month is not working.  There is a leak from the second floor ceiling, and it drip, drip, drips when there is heavy rain.

We are leaving in one week, and are hoping for a reprieve in the weather so that the workman can come do the repairs.  It would be best if this is accomplished before our departure.  Otherwise we may need to inconvenience a friend to come open the house for the work to be done.

God knows what is best.  The leak is not serious, but it could make things damp enough for mildew to proliferate.  That would not be good.  Please pray with us for resolution to this difficulty.

Praise and Prayer

  • We appreciate those who passed along news of the changes in quarantine regulations.  As we are not fully vaccinated before travel, we have arranged for the mandatory hotel quarantine.  Thank-you to those who give toward our support and the Global Advance Fund so that such expenses are covered.
  • Taiwan has extended the current pandemic prevention measures until July 12 (after our departure).  So many of our good-byes are virtual ones–using social media.  We are thankful for good friends that we will miss while away from Taiwan.
  • We are thankful to those who are helping to get our Canadian belongings into our home assignment suite!
