Dear Friends and Family,
We are really enjoying the village (Warlep) that we are presently staying at. It is right on the ocean and we are able to come back each night to sleep in our tents, so that gives us a bit more continuity.
Last night we got to travel to the island across from our base. Following our meeting we were eating lap-lap and actually enjoying it. We thought that it might have some chicken in it, but the bones were a bit long. Yep, you guessed it....we were eating fruit bat! Most of us decided it doesn't taste too bad! :)
We haven't been able to do as much evangelism here as we had hoped, but what we have done has been good. Most days are spent working on projects and nights are spent doing our drama and evangelistic meetings. This will probably continue to be the routine while we remain at Warlep.
Our plan is to join Pastor Dave in Pango Village a week from today. We are looking forward to that, but in the meantime are believing that God has a good plan for us to fulfill here.
Thanks so much for your prayers! We have seen numerous answers today:
1) We are ALL feeling MUCH better!
2) We have been able to steadily prepare for the concrete foundation for the church and hope to pour it in the next day or two.
3) We were not able to fix our speakers, but found some to rent so we can continue to do our drama.
4) Everyone has had amazing attitudes and are working as a great team in spite of cultural challenges.
5) We are continuing to see the miraculous and are able to share sensitively with the Ni-Vans.
6) We were able to barter with the transportation guy for rides the rest of the week in exchange for Leslie painting a sign!!
7) We had food today that we enjoyed, ie: lobster!
The difference we have experienced as you have prayed has been REALLY tangible! Thank you and please continue to remember to pray for us, we can't do it without YOU!
Love,
