God is in control?
It's been a buzy time, me getting ready to leave for an extended trip to down-under, and a team take over... plus the medical / dentistry / visiting teams....
Firstly the "shop until you drop" team from NZ came, so now we go up to 3 star ratings.... we have a drink dispenser, (cold water) proper tresle tables for sitting at, medical cabinets and furniture in my house! WOW says Zac.
Then Tom and Alice flew in for just two days. They gained our hearts with their dedication. Non-stop dental treatments for every child in the Bamboo school, plus some village people. Eskimo had cosmetic treatment to his front teeth... loking good!
The CSW team from Hong Kong came with Dr JoJo. They undertook medical work, while Chato and Heather dispensed rice, clothing and essentials to the villages where ever we were. They went into No Man's land to sing carols and dispense candles with the children.... even singing to the police... many brownie points earned for that one!
We are under full security measures at present, police groups everywhere. However the police enjoyed out singing so much they now all wave to us as we drive past, illegal kids and all! However it is a warning to visitors coming in. Please contact the group at school, before you travel into the area... no surprize visits. You can email Glenys who is taking care of hosting, on dgtilley@ hotmail.com.
In the meantime, I am in NZ for the first time in 15 years. What a change... new roads, development everywhere, prices of everything expensive!!! I keep converting into Thai baht, and feel guilty about eating that much... one hot drink is equivalent to the total amount I spent on my teachers Christmas dinner.... shame on me! It is great to have met up with the Tauranga church team who are looking forward to visiting us this year, maybe to help with the hospice project.
My sister and I met on the side of the road, one look and both said," You look like Mum"... My friends Robert and Carol thought we looked the same... okay since I am the much older one. I then found my brother-in-law who looks the same as 15 years ago.
Happy Birthday Bilay! A surprize birthday for him and for Sue who is helping out at Bamboo School as nurse in charge. Prayer them to have a great day, celebrating the birthday of Jesus together with all my little ones.
May God control things at Bong Ti... may He also control my feelings of being so far away at this time.
