participating in the Annual CROP Hunger Walk and presented a certificate of
recognition to the church for being the top Mennonite congregation in the
CROP Walk. The next CROP Walk is March 1, 2020.

Omar serving with Mennonite Central Committee in Bolivia. Please sign your
name and give greetings to Brisa and Omar. Continue to pray for my 100 year

sister and I are helping them and I will be traveling to Ohio and staying
with them for a couple of weeks.
