Free days and HOME here we come!!

We are alive and well! Many of us have felt the recent earthquakes that have been occurring the past two days here, but there has been no damage on the islands that we have been staying at. We are grateful to God for protection!!

Presently we are waiting to board a plane that will take us to Port Villa, our first stop on our "mini vacation". Here we will be able to see a great waterfall and relax a bit. We will be spending two nights there and then travel on to Efalfal Bay Inn (Pango Village). Our hope is to do some snorkeling and diving and various fun things here. Honestly, most of us are counting the days 'til we arrive back in Yuba DO!

We completed pouring the foundation for the church in the village near Warlep. We were also able to leave them with the fixings for more concrete and instructions for how to complete the work in a way that would last. They were very grateful! It was hard work that we enjoyed, but we are happy to have some relaxing days ahead of us!

We were also invited to go into a hospital to pray for people and saw numerous miracles there!! We are anxious to share all the stories with you when we get home!

The Ni-vans had a huge Melanesian feast for us last night. Of course we had LAP-LAP! They also roasted a pig and chickens, so we are no longer protein starved! :-) It was a lot of fun! Johnny also celebrated his birthday in the bush on the 29th of May. He is hoping to celebrate properly when he gets back home! :)

We are presently healthy, but covet your prayer coverage for us as it seems to be an on going battle. Also, Paul's back is still a huge issue and he needs God to show up for him! We appreciate prayer for safe travel and we look forward to seeing you all on Sunday the seventh!!

With love,
