India was not what I expected at all. I just didn't picture it that way. o well, I had so much at Immanuel. The kids were awesome and although they didn't speak English we somehow connected.

 

Lots of things happed on the trains in India. Schalk and I had to sleep together on a bed that is as wide as the distance for my fingers to my elbow. We had to do that for 2 nights now.

This one night we were sitting all together and one unlucky Indian man was sitting against the wall in the corner and doesn't understand English. So we wanted to mess with his head a little bit. We dined like Peter Pan. (Everything we did was fake and imaginary) We talked to the waiter and ordered starters, meals and milk shakes, everything you could think of. Schalk offered the man his drink but he didn't want it, so Rueben drank it. We held our pose as much as possible and had so much fun. The poor man. hahaha.

Traveling is fun and seeing the monument and wonder of the world is something that everybody has the chance to do. I enjoy that part of the journey as well, but there is something I realized by going to places like this. There are 2 big groups of wonder to see. The one is "man made." This is a human mind that thought about something and humans that created it. (e.g. Taj Mahal & Pyramids) Sure it is big and must have taken a long time to make,  it has a significance, but for me it is just missing something.

Work your way is still alive and well. We are running a project in India to help an orphanage to build a kitchen and toilets for them. If we have enough money we would like to build a wall for them. The wall is so that the orphanage can house boys and girls. There are 20 boys in the orphanage and 1 toilet for all of them. They have to make fire in the kitchen at the moment, the smoke is very bad for the people that is working there.

 

Donations are more than welcome, in fact please donate. :) There is going to be a Work Your Way blog that explains everything in detail. Go check it out. Thanks for all the donations thus far.

Our time at Think and do was fun. Frikkie and I sanded a couple of doors and painted a whole bunch of Iron bars. The rest of the team weeded the soccer field and the farm tunnels.

Patients, is an on going proses that can never be completed. If a man can wait for 20min before he loses his temper he must be put in situations where he must wait 20min or longer to improve.

There came a time when this man will reach a place where he can wait 2 hours before getting frustrated. This is the point where the next step sucks a bit. In order to improve on waiting more than 2 hours something big needs to happen. Waiting more than 2 hours can change the days planning and get very long.

There was also the idea that, if you are waiting for a long time and loose you temper, you would fail the test but still improved your time limit and the test would be over. Thus the waiting period will be over and that what ever you were waiting for will come to you. with in a very shot time.

This theory was put together in Egypt when Frikkie and I sat next to the road.

We helped at a church in their gardens. It was fun and everything went well and normal for a day then it happened again, God blessed us out of our minds. The Church said we can borrow their van. We had transport to all the places we wanted to see. Because we had a car so we were on the other side this time. We picked up hitchhikers and gave people lifts. We then picked up a woman from Germany. She loved to travel with us; she stayed with us for 3 nights: From the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. She bought us food some times and made sure we ate healthier. I think we bombarded her with so much truth that she has to come to Christ soon.

 

Since my last blog so much has happened. I cannot tell it all. One of the top moments for me was when we watched the sun set over the old city from Mt. Olives and when a Muslim said the words he wants to show his family the Bible. He gave his heat to Christ moments after!!

This blog is going to be one of the most difficult blogs to wright. We have seen so much and Gods work is everywhere and every day. I don’t know what to write, so let start with some background info. We left Canada after we had a TV interview, which will air in June or July. We landed in France and went back to London. We saw the queen, that was unexpected and then on to Jordan. It is a fun place to stay for the 2 days. The best thing was going to Petra! It is amazing! I didn’t...
