Simon got a phone call today...if we please could help with a coffin for Joseph.... Joseph is a boy of 10 years old. When he was a baby, he was in Amecet, sick and malnourished. He picked up and after some time we could resettle him with his father. Joseph was HIV + and he was on Arv's. In January he came for the first time to the Amun week. I took the picture during that week. He looks sad, he was sick during the Amun week and we treated him with several medicines. When the Amun week was over, he stayed behind, because we wanted him to go home when he was strong again. He played a lot with the Lego and he was happy. But he missed his father. When he was stable we brought him back home. Yesterday Simon saw him and his father in town, they had come for the refill of his ARV's. And than today...... Simon went to get a coffin and he brought it to the village, he got the sad story, his death was unexpected, he had not been sick since he came back from the Amun week. We were all shocked and down from it....
I'll end with this picture, it is in our garden. It has been so dry and it looked if there was only soil, you could not see any grass, then we got a rain storm, we got even hail stones.. and see the new life, which was hidden, came up. I never saw those white flowers there before. It gives me hope and a feeling of expectancy. When God's rain storms come, anything can happen, I am looking forward to it, I think I could really use a spiritual rainstorm...
