Tonight I need to confess a bit. After 29 years here
in Asia, I finally had enough and we decided to put in an aircon. Every year we
sweated it out and said, Ag well it’s only a few months, and then the rain came
but this time around was just the icing on the cake. When it started to affect
our health, we could not dare wait longer, hahaha. Always all that important excuses.
We feel more refreshed and can sleep in the night. Years back the guys always
said they needed aircon for their computers, yea well, this time it’s us, for
our health hahaha. Getting old or soft, I don’t know but let me tell you.
Stupid we, decided to put an aircon in on 30 April, and a week later the rainy
season started, hmmmm. The very first night nobody wanted to go to the kitchen
to go and make food. I opened the door and could not believe that we stayed in
a hot house like this before. My goodness, what a difference it makes. We are
like real Asians and all of us are in one room. Anton sleeps on the floor and enjoys
the coolness. Ok there you have it, confession done, haha.
Because of the terrible heat before the rain, the
government came up with a great idea. Lots of schools throughout Asia were
closed due to the heat. Here they came up with solutions. At Korasey where
Toinette is teaching they installed mist water sprayers, that with fans, cool
down the place. Toinette says all the papers are wet but everyone is happy.
According to the very hot weather, the principal of
Mongkol Borey Model Primary School in Banteay Meanchey province has called on
all parents of the students to please put a small towel enough for the children
to dip in clean water when coming to school to reduce the heat and guide the
children to drink a lot of water. Source : Vikhet Tara
Poor Anton is reviewing like crazy as his final exam
will start on the 19th of May with a bang. Two big exams back to
back in the morning. Please pray for him to be calm and focused. Pray for the
parents to be supportive and full of encouragement. We will be travelling to
Phnom Pehn this Friday the 17th and celebrate Gideon’s 21st
birthday in heaven with some good friends eating his favorite food, dumplings. Pray
for travel mercies.
Thank you for praying for my friend in the ICU. He is
doing much better and on the mend. Please pray that he will start to eat as he
is stubborn and does not want to. Pray that the Lord will do a good work in
him.
Thank you very much for even reading this bit of
writing every week.
Love
Rossouw clan
