Dedication of 12 infants |
The major aches and pains have subsided for which I am thankful; looking forward to be able to sit comfortably again soon...
Psalm 50:15: “I want you to trust Me in your times of trouble, so I can rescue you and you can give Me glory.”
Margreet did a lot more typing this week besides helping me with smaller projects: painting, plumbing, electrical and checking the antenna for the two way radio.
The first three days I was pretty well restricted to twenty minutes of work and then flat on my back for half an hour, while Margreet went to fetch the needed supplies from the different workshops.
By seven it is dark outside and we tend to read and play games till about 9.30, then off to bed. It has been warm (31C) during the nights, but we sleep pretty well none the less.
On Friday morning we had an appointment with a physio therapist. The hour long treatment was nice but didn't result in a major improvement.
That evening we had a BBQ with the Unger family (they are from Fort St.John, BC). Afterward we played card games with the kids: even the almost four year old gets right in there, playing Dutch Blitz and UNO!
Saturday morning we had a great time at the beach! Friends from another organization (SWIM) were there and lent us their snorkeling equipment: just off the beach is a 60 year old shipwreck that is becoming a corral reef and a haven for fish of all sizes and color.
On the way back we stopped at a roadside 'restaurant' and had a delicious meal of chicken, rice and casawa (stringy, potato-ish yam) served on a palm leaf. While enjoying this treat we watched the local kids enjoying a rope swing...
In the afternoon we were blessed with an hour of refreshing rain (as well as this morning): very welcome indeed as our water supply had dwindled to about two days of restricted use.
Enjoy the weekend.
