All around us, heavy weather makes things a bit scary.
Vietnam and Philippines took the most force of these typhoons that came in and
us only get a bit of rain. In the Philippines they had now 2 typhoons in 2
weeks and the place is really devastated. Not sure you can see this on your
news channels. Lots of people died because of heavy rain and wind and
landslides. We are pretty lucky here, I guess with not bad weather these days.
Seems the rainy season stopped and only light rains. So the mud is kinda drying
up.
Currently I am running a kind of virus with fevers on
and off. For 2 days I try to rest but it’s no joke to be sick here. My
beautiful wife is taking good care of me. Today I am feeling much better and
hope to be myself again in a day or 2.
Reports on the border issues with Thailand looked promising
but there is still no end to it. Even Trump made them sign a peace deal but on
the ground things are different. People living on the border still suffering as
their homes are now on the wrong side of the fence. The 18 soldiers that was
capture has not been released. Please pray for this situation to end.
These days I find a lot of foreigners here that are
desperate for someone to hang out with. Like the one uncle told me,” it is just
nice to talk to someone my own age.” Met up with an old friend again this
morning and over coffee he told me his struggles here. I could encourage him to
break ties with the people that is milking him dry. It is all about money. I am
just wondering how many older foreigners, here, are going through the same
problems. Knowing God is not an option as they are already set in their ways
but I think that will make a big change. There is a huge need for foreigners to
hear about Jesus.
Anton’s passport problems are almost sorted. He is
waiting for them to come back to him about fees and then he can get the visa he
needs. I bit stressed this week with that but apparently its very common to pay
an overstay.
We are so privilege to have such a number of people
praying with us. Thanks for that. We really feel so blessed. Have a great week.
Love
