With work being scarce, Arthur offered to look after Dr du Toit's 8 year old boy who has Aspergers syndrome, (a variation of autism) during the school holidays, for a small fee. This was gladly accepted, and Dr du Toit came around to the manse to check whether Arthur would be able to look after Celliers for an extra day. Shortly after the details were agreed upon, and Arthur had returned to his studies, he received a phone call asking him whether he would like a permanent position working in the snack bar at The Consulate! A few minutes later, someone knocked at the door telling him that application forms were now available at the police station for a position as a prison warden!!! Sometimes God is extravagant is His answers to our prayers.
What to do? Arthur asked Danny whether she would be prepared to look after the little boy (Celliers) and they went up the road to visit Dr du Toit and apologise for having to "drop" him at such short notice. (The only problem with "plan B" is that Cilliers is a very strong willed child that needs firm but kind handling, and Danny is a softie).
We will have to wait and see how things progress.
