It seems surreal the this day that we have waited for, hoped for, prayed for, has arrived! We are now in a nearby city and just today shipped the bulk of the food and supplies we will need for the next three months to our village via ferry. Tuesday morning we will be following in a much more comfortable and much faster boat. Please pray for us in the days and weeks ahead this is going to be a big adjustment for all of us.
Very Important, PLEASE READ!
We have had lots of experience fine tuning our new communication techniques over the last few days and have some tips that will really help us to keep in touch with you better.
1) Please don’t forget us! Emails and notes of encouragement are a real blessing to me, I am going to be the only English speaking woman for many many miles and I will be feeding off of your notes (I am sure Greg will appreciate them too 🙂
2) Please don’t send forwarded mass emails like jokes, pictures, poems, health warnings etc. They bog down our email and make it so we can’t receive the above mentioned notes and letters!
3) Email (greg_berglund@ntm.org) is better than facebook. As much as I love facebook, Greg will be downloading emails from the coast and bringing them back interior for us to read and answer. We can’t download content like messages on facebook and bring them back to the house to read, so it will be a rare treat when I get to catch up on facebook.
4) Please refer to #1 🙂
We are so thankful for each one of you and your partnership in this ministry. It would not be possible for us to be here reaching the Buru people for Christ with out your years of prayers, support and encouragement, THANK YOU.
In His grace;
Greg and Pam Berglund
