March 2010

A lot of exciting things happened the last month. We started sundayschool at Victory church with 7 children and it is still growing.

We have a special Praise Service on valentine's day. Here we thank God for His love on valentine's day the focus is not on romantic love, But God's love.

Very hot at the moment on the island, little children swim in the main street of Thongsala to cool down.

World Women's Prayer Day on 5 March 2010. Second year we take part and last year we were 16 women this year we were 50 women and 9 girls. Please thank God with us for this prayer meeting

Buddhist Funeral

We have a chance to attend a funeral at the temple, it is a long process take one whole week.

Die liggaam le in die kis vir 5 dae en die naaste familie slaap by die temple. Een van die seuns gaan in "monkhood" in om merits te verdien. Al die besoekers wat "merits" vir die man kom verdien moet voorsien word van kos en drinkgoed.

This is very expencive and they also hire the coffin from the temple. Flowers is sent and people bring offerings to the temple.
