Good evening all
Wonder sometimes who decided it was a good idea to
develop a visa system and think it will work? Let me tell you, it works only
when it wants to work. Because we stayed longer at home, our visas expired, and
now we are in this mess. Trying to get visas. Now, if you are from anywhere
else than Africa, it will be easy. However, in Asia, being from Africa means you
are linked to something bad, which I wish I had known. Like one friend said:””
When they open that African passport, our forefathers’ spirits jump on them and
all hell breaks loose.””
We took a trip to the border to sort out some issues,
only to be stopped by immigration officers on the other side. Of course, we
need a visa to enter the country in advance. So, just turn around and get
helped by super-friendly officers back in Cambodia. So we were back home again
in the afternoon after a dash to the border. This morning, we extended our
current visas, and we will fly out to Malaysia with Anton and try to get the
right visa when we return.
Bring me a missionary who did not struggle with visas.
I think the way that old Livingston traveled was the best. Everything before
visas and borders. These days, we get stuck and need to spend countless effort
and money on visa problems. Well, pray for our extensions to go smoothly.
I am so privileged to help a good bike friend of mine
with his dad’s wound. He got diabetes, and they amputated his leg, and it
became infected. It feels like the old days when I go there in the mornings.
The Lord surely knows when I need something that good to work on. Please pray
for my friend and his family as they need help with grandpa's recovery.
My brother Werner got himself into the hospital with
some bad health issues, but he is doing much better. Pray that he needs to look
after his health a bit better. He will be out of the hospital maybe today or
tomorrow.
Please pray for Toinette as she is adjusting badly.
She is currently coughing a lot, and I put her on meds. She is taking the jet
lag seriously as she struggles to sleep. Seems that every year we come back, it
takes longer to adjust to the weather and everything around us.
We are looking forward to Anton being home on Sunday
and spending a few weeks with us here at home. Pray for him to finish his
trimester strong.
Thank you for praying with us.
Love
Rossouw-clan
