Good evening or morning depends on where you from in the
world. Here in Siem Reap it’s around 6.30 pm and it is starting to cool down. We
have such nice weather these days and that makes life so much easier. In the
nights it’s still nice and cold and you do not really need a fan, but because of
the mozzies, we cannot switch it off. So the next best thing is a blanket and
laying close to your wife or husband if you have one available hahaha. Just
joking.
Everybody in this part of the world is so dead serious
that a joke does not get far. This Corolla virus, sorry Coronavirus makes people
really afraid and even here in the Kingdom people tend to follow the rest of
the world. A small bottle of hand sanitizer that costs about $3 now will cost
you $20 and masks if you get them to cost $15 a packet that normally costs $3.
Business is booming in certain areas and others it’s slowing down severely. Here
they are only worried about the tourist that coming or not, so besides that,
nothing else matters. A statement by die Department of Health says that it’s too
hot for the virus to stay here, well so Namibians, I think you are in the
clear……The media is enjoying this all over the news and you can only sit in
awe and read fake news or move on.
The reality is that here there are so many viruses and
bad illnesses that another virus like the Coronavirus needs to stand in line to
earn the first spot. A report is saying that in the airport's nothing serious
about screening is been done. Poor people are going there normal daily lives as
if nothing happens. There is work to be done and if you do not work you do not
get money. We are so bombarded by calamities around the world these days that
it will not help us to be fearful but rather to put our eyes upon Jesus and
move ahead. If we read the Bible we can see that these things are foretold in
the days to come, so be encouraged in the fact that you know Christ and that
His time is His time. Do not think that the world is going to end tomorrow
because we do not know the time when it is going to happen. God is in control
even if it does not look like it.
School this week was a blast with the kids putting on
different styles every day and then they had a sports day at the end of the
week. Anton really enjoyed himself. School for him is now starting to get
serious with more work to do.
Heang’s brother went to the doctor but they only did a
scan and told him to come back when the hand is not swollen anymore. So how
long that will take, I am not sure. Sometimes it's better not to interfere with
these doctors because the things they do are absolutely mind-boggling.
Please pray for Apo. His wounds are not doing better
even if we use the Ozone every day. Pray that his deep wounds will start
growing back. He has another pretty bad sore on the other hip as well so
making turning a bit difficult.
I will be on my way tomorrow to Stung Treng and
Ratanakiri. Looking forward to spending some time with my good friend Samai and
some tribal people and food. It’s a lot of driving so please pray for safety on
the roads and open hearts at the churches we will visit. Pray for Toinette and
the boys that will be here in Siem Reap.
Toinette is pretty busy doing 2 online courses and
teaching as well. I still catch her playing her favorite game on the computer, so I
guess it’s not that bad. Not many students are coming for a class in the
afternoons due to the schools that have more extra classes. This is a really good
tool to teach children some English and invest in their lives. Pray for all
the staff of FGC to be committed to their work and passion.
Thank you for praying for us, may the Lord bless you
all this week to come.
Love
Rossouw-clan.
