Good evening dear friends and family
Last week was “Belated Khmer New Year”. They are
trying to boost local tourism so the whole of Phnom Penh was here in Siem Reap.
The streets were jam-packed with very expensive looking cars and lots and lots
of people. We tried to stay home most of the time and had lots of visitors. We
were blessed to have the family from Kbal Domrey here with us for 2 days. They
have housed Mordegai so many times over the years, so it was a privilege to
have them here and being able to cook for them for a change. They also know our
boys from when they were small and loved hanging out with them. I was thinking
about how faithful God has been over all these years. We have been blessed by very
precious relationships, in the Philippines and nowhere in Cambodia.
School started today for Anton. He could not join
today as he has been very sick for the past 3 days. High fever and painful body and
throat. We know our boy is sick if there are tomatoes leftover in the fridge.
He’s not been eating but keeping hydrated at least. Please pray for his
healing.
They still do online schooling and need to be at the
computer in the morning. I am busy recovering from this Chinkungunya virus and
all that is left over is sore and painful joints. My strength is slowly coming
back and I hope to be back doing outreach next week. Lots of people are sick
now either with Chi or Dengue fever. Our helper’s husband and child have
Dengue. I am trying to spray with the fogger but is not sure it helps a lot as
we are surrounded by standing water.
We are going through the book of Philippians in our
Women’s Bible study and looked at Chapter 4:6-7 this week. “Be anxious for
nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplications with thanksgiving
let your request be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses
all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. “
The young boy with the tumors passes away. Our
friend shares that the father wants to learn more about Jesus and wants to come to
church. Our hearts were so sad for this family, but we also rejoiced that even though
their son was not healed, they still want to learn more about Jesus. A reminder
to all of us to keep on being there for others, share and pray for them. No one
is immune to the love of Jesus!
Love
