Our days are sure full, hard to communicate with you what exactly our days look like here in the village.\u00a0 Things are so “normal” to us but probably sound very out of place for you:\u00a0 Pumping water everyday with an old fashion hand pump so we can bathe and cook and have drinking water, often being called on to help a little boy with a terrible burn all over his foot, a baby who had 10 worms pass in her stool, \u00a0and a grandma w a bruised side after falling on a sharp piece of wood while feeding her pigs.\u00a0 Those were a few of the medical events from this week.\u00a0 But praise the Lord for His wisdom and ability to help and be a blessing.\u00a0 We’ve seen many get better after we’ve been able to help them.<\/p>\n
Other activities of late have been my climbing a lemon tree to get leaves for a dear grandma to chew with her beetle nut- (I’m not much of a tree climber but she had just been helping me for a couple hours in language study so I wanted to help her back.) We’ve helped kids with the English homework in the evenings- first year of English class and they’re “learning” words like parliament and archipelago- hard to know how to really help them with this material that’s way over their heads.\u00a0 And then of course the hours and hours Tim has spent in the office with neighbors working through the narrative of Genesis and now into Exodus.\u00a0 All of these activities are done in our 3rd language which adds to the challenge of getting all the words and concepts right when it runs through our brain and out our mouths.\u00a0 So even though these activities are normal for us, they still require more than we can do or have to give- thus the prayer “Lord speak through me, work through me, teach through me” is often in our hearts we often feel like we are not cut out for this, certainly there are better more qualified people.\u00a0 And yet God has us here, sustains us daily, and gives us the JOY of His presence and love throughout our days!\u00a0 Amen<\/p>\n

Thank you again for your prayers for the airstrip and flight program here.\u00a0 At the beginning of September we took a week trip out to town and were able to fly back into the village using the mission plane.\u00a0 And not just any plane, but a larger one that is in our region while the pilots get more hours of practice flying.\u00a0 We were the first missionaries to use the plane after it arrived here from the States so the pictures and video were taken of our flight to report to the sponsors and donors back in the States who have helped to get the plane called the “Kodiak” this far.\u00a0 We thank the Lord for His provision and protection and for an easy 50 minute flight into the village that can take us 10+ hours of off-roading in our jeep.\u00a0 On the trip back out to town the plane was able to take a village family and their very sick little boy out to town to get him help after many unexplained seizures.<\/p>\n
