Nuusbriewe uit Madagaskar
I can hardly believe that I have been back in SA for more than a month. The Cape is beautiful, but I have to get used to the daily changes in the weather; from wind to a heat wave to rain and cold weather, all within a few days.

Last blog of 2021, wishing you all a happy New Year. We are grateful for God’s grace and guidance this year and we pray that Dries and I will be able to return to Madagascar together. There is so much to be done.

I left Nosy Be on Tuesday afternoon for Antananarivo. I managed to get everything done and everyone organized and prepared for my absence which might be more than a couple of months.

I joked with the Saturday Rangers last week when we prayed for those who had birthdays during the week that I also have an anniversary of some sorts. Dries has been away from home for one whole year now. I still wonder how that is even possible and how Covid 19 was allowed to ruin people’s lives on so many levels. I refrain from dwelling on the fact that I don’t know how we can ever recover financially. Gabriel has not seen maintenance for a year now, not to even speak of the Land Rover. I try my best to do what I can, but my efforts in this regard are merely superficial. So when my quad bike broke down on the road three weeks ago, it was a case of the proverbial ‘the last straw to break the camel’s back’, scenario.

I am sure that I am getting my idioms mixed up, ‘the wrong end of the stick’, so to speak. But I felt like that donkey which was offered a carrot and then had it taken away. Twice in fact.

You might wonder why I have not posted anything in weeks. The last three weeks have been emotionally the worst for me since Dries has been away. The government announced that Madagascar’s boarders would be opening partially. Flights between Madagascar and its surrounding islands had opened up and Europe will follow this coming week. Unfortunately, South Africans are on the list of “undesired” travellers due to Covid. Flights are also only to and from Antananarivo and as yet, there are no transformable visas being issued. So to sum up, Dries is still stuck in SA.

Norbert and Antonin have suggested a couple of times that they were prepared to go to Ampamata for a week to help out at school, especially since we have not been able to go there. Euphrasie and I were also eager to be there for the start of the new school year and I was therefore so thankful when Liaan and Elizna agreed to take us to Ampamata on Monday. It was also an opportunity to put their new boat, ‘Seeperdjie’ (Sea Horse), through its paces. The trip which normally takes us about four hours, lasted less than an hour. Norbert remarked that he could get used to such an effortless means of transport.
