Thank God:
· For numerous reminders of His loving presence.
· That Eunice arrived safely in Papua New Guinea with her luggage intact. Give thanks also that her body quickly adjusted to PNG time (a 16-hour difference), for the progress she is making in sorting, selling, and packing our possessions, and for the joy of again spending time with teammates here. Praise Him also for two opportunities to snorkel; she saw all but one of her favorite fish and other creatures and also spotted a few rarities!
· That Mike is doing well. Give thanks for the many friends who have visited him, brought meals, and encouraged him in other ways. And give thanks that Karissa was able to spend the weekend with him.
Please Pray:
· That God will continue to grant Eunice the physical, emotional, and spiritual strength to finish all that she needs to do in the next four days. Pray especially that she won’t get bogged down in the details of handling and deciding about all the stuff that she still needs to deal with (like contents of file drawers and accumulated papers and such from our offices).
· That Mike will continue to manage well during Eunice’s absence, especially for good rest balanced with work and with calls and visits from friends. And please continue to pray that God will heal Mike and renew his strength, and that He will use him in mighty ways during this time of healing.
· For safe travel for Eunice as she leaves PNG Friday, overnights in Australia, and resumes her journey Saturday, arriving home that afternoon. (The trip is much longer than that statement implies because she’ll cross the International Date Line and arrive in the U.S. five hours before her Australian departure time!) Pray that she will be able to upgrade her seat for the long flight across the ocean in order to rest (and perhaps even sleep!). Pray also for sweet time with the missionary friend who is hosting her Friday night and another missionary friend who is flying there from her home in Melbourne.
