Shalom, dear all!
Thank you for praying faithfully for us. My mother has moved to normal ward from the quarantine. Sadly, she doesn’t understand at all what the rehabilitation therapist says. My brother will have to put her to a care center until he successfully heirs a foreign caregiver.
親愛的代禱勇士,平安!
感謝大家為忠心為我們禱告。Sandy的媽媽已經從隔離病房轉至普通病房。可惜她不能聽懂復健治療師的指令。弟弟在順利雇請外籍看護人員之前,必須先將媽媽安置在養護中心。
Beverlyn and Jennifer are still recovering from their injuries. But they do not stop working at all, making a lot of sewing works for selling at the Ambunti Crocodile Festival, and helping me with the housework. Jennifer is trained by Douglas to use a heavy-duty vacuum cleaner and we trust her to use it properly. So, she can do the cleaning work in other flats in PIM Mission House.
貝芙琳與珍妮芙的傷勢還沒好全,但是她們一點都沒放下工作。除了在我這裡幫傭,還做了很多縫紉作品要在鱷魚節販賣。經過道格拉斯的訓練,我們認證珍妮芙已能正確地使用專業型吸塵器,她也能接下打掃PIM其他宣教士宿舍的工作。
Now she can talk to me about her fear, her loss and her present condition. Until today did I not know that, on the day she was attacked, she had to climb mountain after mountain with her bleeding arm without any food until she reached her home village where the clinic accepted her the next day morning. I am glad that she now comes to the stage that she can talk about it. Though she is very much in need, one of the very few items she has asked of me is a Bible.
現在她已經能夠侃侃而談,告訴我她的恐懼、她的失落,以及她目前的狀況。直到今天我才知道,在她受到攻擊的那天,即使手臂流著血,她還是得餓著肚子走路翻山越嶺,走到隔天早上才到達她的本家村落。在那裏的診所收下她。幸好她現在來到這個可以說出來的階段了。即使在極度缺乏的時候,她開口跟我要的東西並不多,其中一項是一本聖經。
You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
---Psalm 6:8
我幾次流離,祢都記數;
求祢把我眼淚裝在祢的皮袋裡。
這不都記在祢冊子上嗎?
---詩篇56:8
Though the court case of the riot in June has started, the area of Amunti High School is still not safe. The families, including Jennifer’s, whose houses were burned down cannot go back yet. Neither can they go to their fields to work on their produces. Gaining food will be a problem for them as villagers don’t have other accesses to create income. Some of them are even camping near the property of Amunti PIM Elementary School. PIM has donated a load of food. However, long term supply is beyond our budget. We have to pray that the court case be done soon and their life be back to normal before further community issues occur.
雖然六月份暴動的官司已經展開,安布恩提中學周遭區域仍然很不安全。房屋遭燒毀的家庭(包括珍妮芙的家族)還不能回去,也無法到他們的農地種收他們的農產。村民們沒有其他收入來源,如此一來他們連吃飯都成問題。有一些家庭甚至在PIM於安布恩提的小學校區附近搭篷而居。PIM已經捐贈一批食物,但是畢竟我們的預算無法長期供應。我們得好好禱告,希望在引起進一步社區問題之前,官司盡快處理,他們的生活得以恢復正常。
More than usual number of PIM staff have had some accidents during the past 2 weeks. Thank God that they have recovered from the injuries except Ishmael who fell off a tree and broke his arm, and John who was thrown out from the back of the truck on the way back to Amunti from Wewak and is severely sore on the shoulder and the chest. By the way, PIM’s van in Wewak was sent to the workshop to have a repair. But the worker at shop damaged the rear door and window and, therefore, created more repair work to do. Our staff are driving the car with a wooden board attached at the back for a few weeks since the window is not available in Wewak.
不知怎地,PIM的工作人員這兩個星期發生意外的案例也挺多。感謝上帝,他們的傷勢都復原了。現在只有以實瑪利和約翰還沒好。前者是從樹上摔下來,手臂骨折。後者是從威瓦克返回安布恩提時,從卡車後面被甩出車外,現在肩膀和胸部還是劇烈疼痛。另外,PIM在威瓦克的公務車送保養廠維修,結果維修廠的工人不小心撞壞後車門,也撞破窗戶。這下要修理的地方更多了!那個車子後面的玻璃現在威瓦克缺貨,要等數周才能換新的。
I just announced that I felt settled down in my last update. And now we are working on wrapping up our present tasks, moving our belongings to the store room, and getting ready to leave again. Starting our journey to Taiwan, we have booked the flight to leave Ambunti on August 13th. I have started feeling the stress of living out of the suitcase.
好像在我上一則代禱信才跟大家說我有安定下來的感覺。現在,我們又要趕快收尾手邊的工作、把私人用品逐漸收到儲藏室,準備再次遠行。我們訂了八月13日離開安布恩提的飛機,展開回台灣的旅途。我又開始感受奔波的壓力啦!
Please remember us in your prayers.
