My wife was not feeling well the second week as the symptoms were of Covid 19. Her body temperature was high, and the child was sacking milk when she was sick thank God she recovered greatly, and the baby is safe. 

Dr Mugweni invited us to attend a lecture all the church leaders by Br Goodyear and Br William on the 4th. The lecture went well, and his subject was Identify Spiritual Gifts. We were 75 attended. On the 16th, 8 ladies from Bazel including sister Mukahanana, Mandianike, Kuwaza, Chiwedere, Mashayamombe, Kanyimo, my wife and sister Chadzingwa. They did a great service, sister Kuwaza preached, the reason of meeting was that no church attendance since the rest of her time was spent trying to chase birds away from the field.
