It has been too long!

It has been too long since I’ve written something and I apologize for that.
One of the reasons is that since the last post things just kept getting more and more crazy. Here is a quick summary of this past year

The year began like any other. Then came COVID-19 and changed everything from one day to the next. My work went from “a normal workload” to “where can I buy more time, preferably a whole cargo ship full”. At the school we suddenly had to switch to online learning and with the church we went to full online services. When I say that I worked 60-80 hours per week from halfway through March until the start of July then I really am not lying, but it was amazing to be able to serve so many people at the same time.

At the end of May something happened that I really wasn’t expecting. A beautiful young christian woman came over to our house when we invited friends over for dinner. This young woman’s name is Pim (say Phim). We hit it off and we started chatting quite a bit and after a month we went on our first real date. Fast forward a couple of months and I really feel like I love her and that I want to marry her. After praying a lot I asked her to marry me. Luckily this ended well and she said yes! On the 16th of January we got getting married!

Life has changed so much over the past couple of months and I am incredibly grateful for each and every one of you who still prays for me and supports me financially. Not a single one of my sponsors has stopped supporting me during this difficult time in the world! I thank God for you every day!

    Leuk Chester om weer wat van je te horen, en ik vond het geweldig de bruiloft mee te maken. Een hele nieuwe fase in je leven.
    Wat was het hectisch en druk zeg, die eerste corona tijd, maar wat ben je dan tot zegen hè
    De hartelijke groeten, ook aan Pim
