I flew back to Gauteng on the 4th of February. Jannie drove from Chandame (with Jaco and Maxi’s bakkie) to pick me up and collect goods in Gauteng for other missionaries in Mozambique and Malawi.
On the 12th of February we left Gauteng for Chandame and arrived on the 14th. One of our worker’s grandchildren died of a dog bite. Hennie and Elsabet Smit from Nkhoma had to bring the child’s body back to Chandame and decided to stay for the weekend.
We both started feeling sick again on the 23rd of February. Jannie immediately started drinking malaria medication and I started drinking antibiotics. If you are physically ill, it is very difficult to keep your trust in the Lord. But we knew at that moment that our faith needed to be stronger since God is in charge of our lives and he will get us through difficult times. A few days later, I attended a service in Chandame alone as Jannie was away for the day. It started to rain heavily. It rained so hard that no one could hear Pastor Daniel preaching. The congregation then decided to sing hymns because no one could hear him! It rained 80 mm in just 2 hours that day.
In February we saw and helped 566 patients in 10 days!
God Bless!
