Dear Friends and Family;
Well, the LOOOONNNNGGGGG month that I was dreading is finally coming to a close. Greg has his passport in hand with his new Visa stamped in it and is all set to fly back to the states on June 30th. He will arrive here in Bozeman on July 2nd and we are all bursting with excitement.
We have a lot to be praising the Lord about . He has really gone before us this month to make our way smooth, both for Greg and for the kids and I. Greg’s paperwork went off without a hitch, and just as importantly he was able to spend a lot of time with our co-workers discussing and making future plans fro the Buru ministry. He was able to pass on some of the translated portions of scripture that he has been working on and get some new material from Herman to work on. He was also able to take care of some packing and planning for our return to Indonesia in November.
In the tribe, our coworkers, Waris & Syeni Kadir and Herman & Marien Kodidi are doing well despite being the only mission families in each location. Pray for them as they work on Bible translation, Bible lesson writing and disciple the believers. They are also busy helping with medical needs as they come up. We long for the day we can join them, please continue to pray to the funds for an airplane for our region. The plane we were trying to borrow isn’t going to work out. NTM has already raised half of the money for the production of the Kodiak we are going to get, and it is in line for production, but it will take a while to be produced, prepared, and delivered to the field.
On the home front we wrapped up our school year and have been busy with swimming lessons and Vacation Bible School, and visiting museums and all the neat things that we can’t give the kids while we are in Indonesia. My biggest praise is that the Lord has continued to keep me healthy and keep my blood pressure down, even though I have less that a month left until the baby is born. This is truly a gift from God, as at this point in ALL of my other pregnancy’s I was battling high blood pressure. Another Huge praise is that my mom has been right beside me the whole time helping, she comes at 8 in the morning and stays until the kids have had their baths in the evening. It has been such a blessing to us.
Thank so for your continued prayers, support and encouragement. Thank you also for all the notes of encouragement and phone calls this month. We appreciate each of you so much!
Love;
Greg and Pam Berglund
Nate, Hannah, Grace, Katie, and baby B
