What can we say, sitting around and waiting for airlines to sort out their routes and Covid regulations, can be a stressful and boring job altogether. At least we are so privileged that we can hang out in Swakopmund and enjoy the cool weather while everyone dies of the heat inland. My days basically consist of going to fish, if the fish are there, but luck is also on my side and I caught a few already. I enjoy my alone-time at the beach and can get quiet and rethink things, of course in the presence of the Lord. I am sure the Lord was also a fisherman, why would he choose fishermen as his disciples??
Toinette on the other hand is at home and enjoys time with Ouma, if she comes and visits us, and also be with Anton doing school online. We are really enjoying the time here in the house of her aunt and here we can get some sort of a family going again. Anton keeps himself busy while drawing a lot of freehand sketches and cartoons.
Staying back here gives us more time to visit with my brother. We went up the dunes to sit and watch the sunset a few times and he loves to scare us with his driving skills up and down the dunes. That makes Namibia such a beautiful place where we still can enjoy pure unspoiled nature. The Lord is giving us plenty of time to connect as brothers and I am internally grateful for that. Never before we could visit so much and we can build our relationship stronger.
Please pray for Toinette’s visa to come back from Egypt in due time. I see the documents already arrived there. Yip, do not ask, we need to apply for a visa in Egypt to go back to Cambodia. We will cut it real short in order for Anton’s visa to be still in place but it seems it’s doable.
Pray for Emirates airlines to sort all their requirements with Singapore so we can fly again. They postponed their tickets again till the end of the month.
Please pray also for the Warren family that is stuck already for more than a year in SA due to Covid, in order for them also to make it home at last.
As you know by now, we Africans are scrutinized for Omicron while the rest of the world can travel around. Why??? Well, being in church yesterday just proves a point. We were the only people with masks as nobody had their masks on in the church and it was full. Here in Namibia the infection rates are going down and we are making progress while the world is full of it but we are not allowed to fly,hahaha O what a weird world we are living in.
Well, thank you very much for all you beautiful messages we received last week. Really appreciate it and know that we are privileged to have such friends like you guys. Keep up the writing and we will try our best to do the same.
Love
