This past month we had the privilege of attending the biggest cultural show
\nin Papua New Guinea. It was so great to be in the right place at the right
\ntime to be part of it. As you can see from the pictures, the nationals went
\nall out in their traditional costumes for dances. You don’t see people
\ndecked out like this around here on daily basis but this is how their
\nancestors dressed and there are some that still remember and participate in
\ntraditional cultural ceremonies. The sad part is that each of these
\ntraditions is rooted in their animistic world view, a life of darkness in
\ndesperate need of the light of the Gospel.<\/p>\n

Ned is enjoying his time spent teaching high school students. He would
\nappreciate your prayers to use his time wisely each day and that he would be
\nable to prepare for classes quickly so he has more time to spend on his
\ntranslation job. Ned will be flying to our tribe on Oct. 7th for almost
\nthree weeks of full time translation work. First he will do a translation
\ncheck for another translator and then be back in our home on the island for
\nabout 2 weeks. Please pray for him to have a very profitable time doing
\ncomprehension checking on the remaining New Testament Epistles. Finding the
\nright people each day to work through checking the Scripture portions will
\nbe crucial for making a lot of progress in a short amount of time. Even
\nthough Ned’s school break time will be working hard, please pray that just
\nhaving a change of scenery and different tasks to complete would be restful
\nfor him!<\/p>\n

We are greatly enjoying the blessing of being able to watch our high school
\nkids participate in sports. That is something we have really missed out on
\nover the years. The Lord is so good to allow us one year to be part of this
\narea of their lives. Zachary just finished up his season of volleyball and
\nChristina was able to learn to play rugby for the first time! This is also
\nGarrett’s first time to attend “real” school. It has been good for him and
\nchallenging. Please pray for Garrett to find a good friend this year.
\nLinn continues to help homeschool missionary moms with needed resources and
\nadvice, assists in various needs at the school and helps Ned with grading
\nhomework, along with helping with other needs that arise from week to week.<\/p>\n
