\"\"<\/a>Linn was blessed to able to go to the USA to be with Bethany for the birth of our first grandchild!\u00a0 The lower gas prices have helped with airline ticket prices plus special gifts from our supporters allowed this to happen.\u00a0 We are so thankful.\u00a0 It has been such a joy to be able to help out, especially with Bethany and Isaac living in Virginia and away from family.\u00a0 Valena Carmen Olson was born on October 6th.\u00a0 She weighed 8 lbs 3 oz, 20 \u00bc\u201d long.\u00a0 She and Bethany are both doing great.<\/p>\n

Continue to pray for rain for Papua New Guinea.\u00a0 We missionaries are surviving with less water but the nationals are having to work harder to get drinking and cooking water and to keep their gardens growing.\u00a0 It is a time of hunger in many areas.\u00a0 The Tigak are more dependent on fish so are less affected food-wise.<\/p>\n

Papua New Guinea had an extra big Independence Day celebration this year since it was the 40th anniversary of their independence from Australia.\u00a0 Even on our little island there was a day of singing and dancing and games.\u00a0 It was a fun day!<\/p>\n

The Tigak church has completed their study of Ephesians and begun studying Acts.\u00a0 Continue to pray for them to be faithful in studying God\u2019s Word \u2013 especially the newer believers.\u00a0 Also, continue to remember them as they prepare for the upcoming church conference that they will be hosting, November 9 to 13.\u00a0 It will be challenging and stretching \u2013 but good for them as they sacrifice and give to serve the other churches who will be coming to our island.\u00a0 Linn is scheduled to arrive back on the island November 8th and our family will head out for another town on November 13th for translation checking \u2013 so it going to be a busy month for us.<\/p>\n
