Sitting here and munching on fresh cashew nuts from my friend’s farm. These nuts are not the nice white and shiny ones you get to eat back home but they are a bit rough as the guys just cut them roughly and roasted them. Taste the same than these pure white ones, think they are better for you, just a shame that I know these guys used a lot of chemicals on their trees. Would prefer to have the original ones without chemicals but how do you know. They say on the label its chemical free but when you visit the farm you see all the empty bottles laying around. See here in Wonderland, they do not like to clean and the evidence is for you to see, hahaha. Well because these nuts are so expensive, I do not complain when I get it for free.
We asked prayer for Russel and Lourenza in SA. Things
are not as rosy as it is supposed to be. Please pray that the children can sort
things out and get them the help they need. At the moment there are a lot of
resistance from their side but we know that our Lord can work wonders. It is
really difficult to give your life over so other people can run it for you,
these guys need a heck of a lot of encouragement to get to that point. Pray for
solutions and strength and wisdom.
We are also in the process of helping a tribal friend,
Ria. We asked for prayer a while ago as he got a very big ulcer under his foot.
I asked my good friend Gordon to get on his case again as I felt really sorry
for him sitting at home and not been able to work. Helping these tribal guys
can be very tricky and you need to communicate things properly and that’s why
we got Gordon on the case. If there are someone that knows tribal culture, it
is him.
I am in contact with my longtime friend Doc. Dienega
in Philippines and he want us to make sure what is wrong before we continue. After
an x-ray and bloodwork, the doctors in Banlung advise him to go to Phonm Pehn as
they cannot help him in the small hospital. But first he needs a blood
transfusion and Gordon send his brother to rally up some troops in the village
to donate blood. So hopefully he will be better in a few days and strong enough
to travel to Phnom Pehn for further help. It all looks like and amputation of
the foot is needed but we are not the doctors. Thanks to my good friend Donny
in Phnom Pehn, Ria will have a place to stay when he is finish in the hospital.
So nice to have such good friends around. Please pray for these few days as it
will be rough.
Thank you all for praying with us. We are grateful for
friends and family that stands in the gap with us.
Love
Rossouw-clan
