Another year and for George 3 months

 So we are set for another year on the long-term visas. Funny how I do not consider that long-term at all.

George recently returned home from Japan. This time he went alone. Perhaps next time we can prepare even better and in advance. 

This system continues to show signs of coming apart. In South Korea, trainee doctors have decided that they will quit because the government is going to increase the number of medical schools by 2000.

They the trainees and doctors want more money and prestige. What? But this makes sense. The bible states that in these days men will be lovers of themselves. And lovers of money. There are many other signs found in the bible that clearly mark the days we have been living in since 1914 as "critical times hard to deal with".

There are many people who know this and others who ignore it. So I look at this as a way of understanding that South Korea will work well for us for one more year. My goal is the same putting Jehovah's kingdom first. This was not my main goal just a year ago. A year ago my goal was to settle in India. Now, if I am in India I will be doing the same thing that I am doing now. Using every means to make sure we are in Jehovah's work. Remembering that this system will indeed pass away. Also, the memory of it will as well. Also, the former things will pass away.

Visa time again

 Usually, they are short and sweet. Last year was not. We found out that George will have to leave the country every 90 days on a tourist visa. However, some of our brothers and sisters are doing the same thing. So George can travel with them. This is has been such a blessing. George had issues last trip due his attire and well the color of our skin causes issues as well. My passport was destroyed due it and my name.

So we will prepare for that better this time. He might not like having to shave every three months. Family worship is continuing last week we had one family worship session due to the boys and Yogita auxiliary pioneering! I will join them in March and April as the requirement is 15 hours which is the sweet spot for me with my work schedule. 

The more I can see it is important to be more and more involved in the preaching work. It was literally the last command he gave to his apostles. He even stated that he was give authority by Jehovah over the Earth and Heaven. If we do not obey...who are we really obeying? If we obey ourselves this is a dead road. Humanity can never seem to get it right. Even with advances in technology the situation here on Earth continues to get worse and worse. Of course this was foretold

Now, I am coming back to this post the visa work is done. It was so easy the officers just processed and checked our documents. My manager was worried because the visa was up the next day. This due to the visa period having only one day left. I think it is better because it bought us more time to prepare everything. 

Now we are working on George's flight. He will have to leave next week. Perhaps we can get it extended this time? I will look into it tonight. It would be nice to get an additional 90 days. 

Ok time to go.

When attacked turn the other cheek

 We have a friend who we work with. With this friend, we have been able to support our family in these critical times that are hard to deal with. It has been a major aid to us. However, as things happen in this world tribulation came on that family. Some students bullied our friend's child. This was very cruel bullying. The students threatened to even rape our friend's daughter. This is just one of the many threats against her. They said terrible things about her family, and very likely attacked her verbally. They used social media to attack her as well. Our friend who runs a business was too busy and was focusing on her business. It was growing so our friend felt the need to make sure it would continue to grow. In fact, our friend's child did not keep these attacks a secret. I and Yogita were told about it and we did our best to be listening ears.

When our friend came to know about this. Our friend became vengeful. The bullies' parents were made to apologize. Also, those students were kicked out of our friend's school. In addition, a case was filed against them at the Ministry of Education which will put a mark against them for the rest of their lives. This was optional. Our friend could have accepted the apologies and resumed teaching those students and settling the school bullying issue. I would have home-schooled my child. 

The parents joined forces and fought back, hard. They first went after the business (there were issues related to it). You see our friend gave a lot of details about the business because of drinking coffee and spending many hours with these mothers. They likely asked veiled probing questions. 

They succeeded the business lost the license and our friend had to shut down. Then they went after the taxes. Due to them knowing many personal details they understood that the issue with the license meant that taxes were not handled properly. So then two fines are imposed on our friend. 

The moral of this story is vengeance belongs to Jehovah. When we attack each other it never ends We all get hurt over and over again. The only we will work with our friend is unless our friend sues for and pursues peace. If war continues we will stay out of it. The bible advises us to stay away from a quarrel, and if we see one get away from it. So I ill follow these wise words!
