This week with Passover and today Maudy Thursday, tomorrow Good Friday and then Sunday Easter we are ever so thankful in our hearts to remember the hope and love and strength we have in our God Tuan Allah - yes He is our Hope & Strength for each new day! He give us the plan and direction - and having the hope of life eternal...He gives us much peace & joy!
After Sunday - Nick & I are departing with Air Asia to Bangkok, Thailand. Our visa expires on Monday the 21st of April and so we will have to re-apply outside of Indonesia to re-enter again.
Our plan at first was to go to Singapore - but things have changed so we cancelled the flight to Singapore (thankfully due to a return flight change the airline made-we were able to receive a full refund) we thank the Lord for His favor! So now it is Thailand instead.
We will be leaving Asia in June to head towards Europe and Holland to my son & family and also all our relatives there. So it is important to go to Bangkok now so to be prepared for our continued travels in June.
We want to get any medical appointments out of the way. This hospital in Thailand - BNH which is Bangkok Nursing Home is a great hospital to come to and have any and all needed surgeries done. It has been a while since both Nick & I have had any check-ups done, so this trip will be important.
I have since about 3 months a lump which we think is a hernia (epigastric hernia - official name!) and it needs to be attended to first.
I had mentioned this briefly before, I think- but our friends in Cambodia Jerry & Wilma have all their medical needs done in Bangkok as well. In those 12 yrs they have been in Cambodia - they have had their annual check-ups, dental and any needed surgeries done at BNH....So Jerry & Wilma both highly recommended it to us!
We have visited the hospital before entering into Indonesia for the first time, back in Sept. several months ago. So we are quite comfortable with the thought of doing surgery, if needed.
There is a Guest House very close to the hospital - walking distance - and so that too is great & convenient for us for any needed follow-ups!
We will keep you posted with the process!
This is not what we had thought to have to do here - have surgery but this should be a small procedure...I am told. We will certainly get rid of our larger suitcases and size down...that will be a smart move right? We always seem to think "oh we can do it - just let me" and then...well your body can only take so much and I guess our muscles aren't as strong as they use too!
So just to keep you all posted dear family & friends! Not to be concerned - all will go well! God goes before us and prepares the Way! We do covet your prayers!
It takes 3 days to apply for the new visa at the Indonesian Embassy in Thailand - so once that is also in order - we will book a return flight back to Indonesia when we are sure about things. We might be in Thailand 7-10 days we think.
Our laptop is going - so you can contact us by personal email, FB or on the blog!
Hugs to All and Yes a Blessed Easter Weekend to you all! We have much to rejoice about! Nick & I are Ever so Thankful !!!
