Friday 13th: Oh Happy Day

Friday was a mighty fine day for Phanna and for Puss - and all people associated with these unrelated individuals.

Phanna is just a great young guy who is training to become a pastor in our church here. He worked part-time in the Healing Home for us for the first year, before being snaffled back by the church as he was just so busy. I maintain that good ladies outnumber steady, reliable blokes here in Cambodia, which means a guy of his calibre is a great catch for a young lady. Rattanak is the fortunate girl, tho' Phanna would be quick to say that he is the lucky guy!

Phanna's happy day. I'm not sure what he's up to here; likely promising Rattanak that he will forever cook, clean and wash his own clothes.

But there was more to Lucky Friday than marriage. Puss, missing for a month, was found this day. She was seen to stroll out of a house close to where Sopheap lives. A poor lady had renamed Puss 'Jumroon' meaning 'Prosperity'. From the day Puss ran away from Sopheap's home and chose this lady to live with, good luck had come her way. Work started to flow in. Loan sharks had been repaid. Blessing had followed the much-prayed-for cat!


'Prosperpous', pretty skinny but a marvel to our staff, all whom were sure that she had become curry.
