Good evening all your beautiful people
Writing here from a very wet Siem Reap as it rains
almost every day, nice weather for a dry Southern Namibian. We decided to wait
out the rain a bit as the roads into the jungle is really sloppy, but that is
not an excuse. I never thought I will say this but being older comes the wisdom
quite handy. Pchum Ben (Hungry Ghost Festival) is approaching fast and that is
not good to be away from home this time. It is still 2 weeks till it starts but
people are already gearing up to get to the temples and bring offerings. I will
write more about this next week.
It was Anton’s 20th birthday, yesterday. So
sad we could not be with him but thanks to God that he had a wonderful day with
his local church in Malaysia. His fellow friends in church had a small party
for him with cake and then they went out eating. So glad that God provided a
bunch of likeminded people to guard over our little boy/man.
It was a bit of a painful day for us as we contemplating
about our boys and was longing for Gideon as well. Sundays always got that
feeling here in the far East.
Toinette is very busy now as they have camps for the
children as it is school holidays here in Cambodia. This week they have one for
the small children and next week for the bigger ones. Please pray for the staff
as they need to work a bit harder these days, keeping the children busy.
Pray for my friend Abraham as he is trying to bring a
lady with an open Cancer wound to the local hospital. Pray for understanding
here at the hospital and that they can be helped here in Siem Reap and no need
to go to Phnom Pehn. The people are really poor and cannot go to Phnom Pehn. Sometimes
we just need to hold some one’s hand and lead them in the right direction. They
just need some encouragement making a big decision like this. Most of the times
people opt not to go to the hospital because of lack of money. We see that the
local hospital can help them when they are poor and even its not the best it is
better than nothing. The hospital got upgraded a while ago and is in great
shape.
Not much news but thanks for keeping us in prayer.
Love
Rossouw-clan
