Good evening all you beautiful people
Another week gone, cannot believe time is flying by so
quickly. Soon Anton will not be with us anymore and just the thought makes us
wanna run away. He is pretty busy with some drawings he need to draw for a
friend who is writing a devotional book. All the pictures are based off the
movie, Lord of the Rings and it fits him like a glove. Every day he sits and draws
or tries to organize his life before going to University. All around the world,
you need to apply for university already a year in advance but here in Asia
they just open the application dates, a month or so before the due date. We are
still waiting to apply as they only do the June intake now. We are aiming for the
November intake.
Recently I made some wooden lorries and trucks and asked
Abraham to give it to the children in the village where he is busy working. He
said that they put the toys on the table for all to see and told the girls that
only the boys could get one as girls do not play with trucks. Nope, they were
protesting that they also wanted a toy. So everyone got a truck and even some
got taken home for children. It is such a blessing to see the smiles on the
children’s faces when they finally get a toy. This is a blessing as they do not
have extra money to buy something or if they buy it is only the rubbish plastic
Chinese toys that last about 2 days. Now they have a real wooden truck that can
outlast an apocalypse. I am busy now with 4x4 jeeps for our next outreach. Hopefully,
this little project I call, Captain G’s Toys, will reach lots of children in
different provinces and create lots of smiles.
I find that this helps me to deal with my depression
and anxiety after Gideon. I always thought that depression was just a make-believe
thing, but my goodness was I wrong. In between outreaches, making wooden toys
for children soothes my soul and makes life livable. Toinette is enjoying
working with the kids in the village and that gives her much joy. God knows how
to give us time and the healing we need. Pray for Toinette and me as we still
cannot get over the events. Yes, I know it’s a long time now but it is just
like that, cannot explain it to you but pray for us. I think it will be a
welcome break for Anton as well as he does not like to see us this way.
Please pray for Ouma Paula. Her one leg really hurts
badly and it makes walking impossible. Pray that the doctor can see what is
wrong and give some relief.
Thank you for even reading this letter. Sorry for all
the sorrow-balls and pity-party. Thank you for praying for us.
Love
