TWENTY SIXTEEN - PART FORTY TWO

                                       TWENTY SIXTEEN -             PART FORTYTWO

  Hello folks,

  Ruth is still in bed with             the flu. Fortunately we             found some mentholatum
and some nasal drops  among my belongings         which should ease the situation a little bit.

Saturday 6th - Ruth is still very ill. She can't remember when last the flu hit her so hard. She hardly ever gets the flu so this is very unusual.

Sue and Steve pay a short visit - her sister is in the hospital and so they called on here while in the vicinity. They didn't get to see Ruth as she was holed up in her room - keeping her flu germs to herself.

She is really very ill, when she gets up she staggers around like a drunk. She is nauseous and drops things and bumps into things.

Ten thirty pm - another bombshell - email from Andre and Amanda - says he is not a coin dealer and hasn't got the time to find a buyer or buyers for the coins.  He wants his money by Monday which is tomorrow - he doesn't state a date but tomorrow is Monday.

 He has sympathy with our        situation but cannot afford      to support us as well as all      his other commitments.            We know he is not                    responsible for us, we are        nothing to him in reality,          except of course being            brothers and sisters in Christ,
but we thought we had satisfied him with the coin collection and ring total value of R62000, because that is what Amanda told us but apparently she was wrong.  

We don't know where we stand - the goal posts just keep moving.

Continue to wait on the Lord. Praying earnestly for a solution. Also praying for Hester, Sue's sister, she is also very ill. Praying for Daniel, his working equipment was stolen out of his car recently and without it he can't work.

Through all of this we know that God is in control.  He has promised never to leave us nor forsake us.
