This photo is of Abigail with Naomi who helps us in the house. Naomi is such a blessing. She comes with me when I am going into town and also when I go to the supermarket with the twins. Last week we were in town and I realised that I needed fuel for the car. We pulled into the petrol station and I asked the attendant could I pay by card-he said 'Yes'. He then filled the car with fuel. I got out and went inside to pay only to be told that I could not pay with my card because it was a chip and pin card. I then said that I would walk to the ATM and get money. When I went to the ATM it would not give me any money! Who knows why!!!?? So my car was full of fuel that I could not pay for!! In desperation I rang Melvin! He was in town in another vehicle doing other business. He said that he had money and could come and pay but not for an hour as he was across town & it would take him that long to get to where I was!! The twins were in the back of the car in the sweltering heat and we could not stay there for an hour! Praise God for Naomi. Melvin was able to speak to her in Portuguese and explain what she was to say to the people at the petrol station! My Portuguese was insufficient to be able to explain what was happening! She went and spoke to them and they said that we could go and trusted us that Melvin would come to pay in the next hour! I just needed to leave Melvin's mobile number!! Even the simplest things are complex here and compounded by language difficulties. Thanks for your prayers-we rely on God daily for His help and protection!
