my name is water truck”Angel”

Joy and joy for the orphanage, the orphans , the plants and the people nearby the orphanage. The making of our water truck has been done and the truck is ready to be sent to the orphanage any time. Our precious truck has been parked at our house in Jakarta since yesterday when it was delivered from the factory and finished all the paper work ( registration). Thank you to bro Alex Chee, sis Kate Park, pak Oetojo and sis Rosmarie, sis Lay Kean and bro Chris Sng, Sis Stephanie Lie and her friends in Seattle , sis Amy and bro Chris , bro John Ong Wai Meng and friends  ,sis Jenifer Soen, bro Philip and sis Nancy Sim and many of you who are participating on this water truck making . This precious ” water truck” will be the best gift ever for the people who have been enduring life with minimum water . Thank you to you All.

Actually we had a date for sending this water truck on January 7th but the truck’s registration was only done yesterday morning , so we have missed the shipment . This is not a bad thing but may be it is a blessing in disguised for the delayed shipment , why ? Well actually the ferry services has been halted for a while because of the rough seas and big waves for the ocean from Surabaya to Timor Island. It has been like that every year during the rainy season in Indonesian waters. Despite all of the delay , we are happy and so thankful for the water truck to be finished and ready . At any time when time weather is fine , we can send it to the orphanage and it will be in action as soon as the water truck has arrived. We will build extra water storage at the orphanage( may be 3 ) and to build the lavatory at the library side . Basically with water we can make the sanitation much much better and will be able to teach the children more about it. Without water we are having hard time. The water truck is equipped a Honda water pump . Thanks to pak Oetojo who has been working hard coordinating with his brother at Surabaya for making sure that we are getting the best pump for the water truck.

God’s favor has been with us upon getting this water truck. So much of the unthinkable have been happening and happening real fast. With my own ability is impossible to get it done and it is really because of you we can have this water truck. The credit is really for you All. Praise God for having so many wonderful friends , brothers and sisters like you All. So much has been discussed between Peggy and my self about activities which requires water at the orphanage and about how to help the neighbors with water. Even the way I got the photos yesterday was another prove that God has been helping us all a long. Yesterday I was supposed to fly to Jakarta turn around , while I was in my uniform and waited for a cab at the basement . A car was returning to the basement and it was a stewardess Nasriah inside the car , she was forgotten to bring her cellular phone . She was offering me a lift to the airport . While traveling to the airport the office called me and saying that the plane was changed into B777 type instead of the plane that I am flying ( Airbus A340-500). That means my flight is canceled for that day. As stewardess Nasriah is also flying on the flight that we were supposed to be flying together ( to Jakarta) I can simply asked the favor from her to bring back the memory card of the water truck photos that Peggy sent it from Jakarta. When miss Nasriah was returning home , she passes me the memory card and I can then up load the water truck pictures for the blog( website). Thank you Miss Nasriah for bringing the photo data back for us . Was is coincident or God has arranged it in such away ? It is God’s blessings and making things easier for us to do things, Praise The Lord.
