Thank God:
· That we have arrived safely back in Papua New Guinea! All three flights went smoothly, we had plenty of time to make our connections, our luggage arrived with us, and we were given the full international luggage allowance all the way to Madang (saving us potentially several hundred dollars in domestic overweight charges). We know that all this happened because of God’s mercy and grace toward us in answer to your prayers. Thank you for praying!
· For the many friends who lent a helping hand in countless ways during our last few days in Dallas.
· That we are beginning to get settled back into our home here in Madang. We are extra grateful for team mates who delivered all our stored possessions to our house prior to our arrival so that we could get right to work unpacking Saturday morning and helped get our kitchen up and running.
· For sweet reunions at church Sunday and with various co-workers over the past few days.
Please Pray:
· That we will finish unpacking and settling in within the next few days.
· That our body clocks will quickly reset to Papua New Guinea time (15 hours ahead of Texas) so that we get a full and refreshing night’s sleep every night.
· For wisdom in setting our schedules and grace as we reintegrate back into the life and ministry of the team in Madang.
· For the Mbore team and their advisor Dave Robinson as they read through the entire Mborena Kam New Testament one final time to make sure that it sounds right and that all needed corrections have been made. Very soon it will be ready to be typeset!
· For the Tay people and Steve and Rhonda Hayward as they prepare for the Tay New Testament dedication next month, do an audio recording of the New Testament, and prepare for a Scripture use and leadership training course that will immediately follow the dedication.
