Bye, fly Sue

There is a dengue fever epidemic in Cambodia at this time. Dengue fever is a mosquito-carried sickness. It is striking westerners as well as the local people. Last week we were at a prayer meeting that really prayed into this. The missionary leading the intercessory group has just recovered from very sick two weeks - and now his wife is struck down with dengue.

Yesterday we received a call from a great young couple from the church we are in, Jason and Angie. Angie too has dengue, and her doc now wants her evacuated to Bangkok. They have two little sons; one still a breast-fed baby. Jason asked if Sue could please accompany them and look after the children while Angie is in hospital in Bangkok. So, it has happened - Susie flew out 8.30pm Friday night with them. She promises to be back in time for her birthday!

Bye bye Mummy

Praying that the stadium stays available for this weekend.

Dad is your postal address in Cambodia the same as your home one or is there somewhere safer to post things to??

Just had lunch with Christian and Becs. They're good. Becs and I tried to incite Christian to increase his monthly two line emails but you know him... laid back to the point of being horizontal!
