M & M in Suriname

Our life with the Wayana indians

A delightful reunion

It was special to meet our friends again after 25 years and to pick up where we left off as if we had just met the other day. That was the case with our friends in Michigan and with our friends from Texas. We enjoyed their hospitality and the nice conversations. Naturally we talked about our children and grandchildren and showed a lot of pictures on our mobile phone.

We were blessed spending a number of days with candidate workers for Manaus in Florida. For Marjolein it felt strange to meet them in person for the first time. Through Skype we have been in contact for quite some time and then you feel as if you are meeting with old friends who are new at the same time. We rented bikes (quite a Dutch experience) and enjoyed the beautiful nature together. Here too we were blessed with warm hospitality.  

At Roy and Margaret’s place we were able to share about a number of developments among the Wayana in Suriname. We enjoyed being together and felt close as co-workers in God’s kingdom. Time was running too fast. On the other hand, we also wanted to return to fly to Apetina, where we left last July.

In Paramaribo we picked up Wilma from the airport and after a few days of shopping, packing and weighing all our luggage, we flew to Apetina. Wilma is a maternity nurse in the Netherlands. She wanted to see what maternity care looks like on the mission field. She will stay with us until March 9. On the flight that Bruce from Canada will arrive in Apetina, Wilma returns to Paramaribo and then flies back to the Netherlands.

It is wonderful to see the people here again and to notice that we also have our place here. People come to greet us when we just arrived in the house.  We felt very welcome!
