This morning we got an email from Mom and Dad. In it were a couple of prayer requests they asked us to pass on. Thanks so much for praying for them. I will just copy/paste here from their email.
We wanted to send this e-mail today so you could put out a couple special prayer requests for us. 1) Could you please have people pray for sunshine. It has been weeks and weeks since we have seen any amount of sunshine. I have had this cold for over five weeks now. It is a lot better, but cannot get it out of my system because the weather is so cold and damp. Daddy has a cold now too, and many people in the village are sick with colds or other things. Even when we’ve had short periods of sunshine, it has not been enough to warm up the air. Sometimes we even feel an icy chill in the air. Daddy and I keep saying that somebody tipped the earth and moved PNG away from the equator. :-) 2) Also please have people pray that Daddy will be able to get to town next Monday. Neither NTM nor MAF have any flights available for this area. The only alternative would be to charter a plane, but that would be way out of our budget. So please pray that the Lord will open up some means for Daddy to get to town and get supplies.
Also, here is one that Mom and Dad did not mention in this email. Christy is planning to send out a package for them today. For the last 8 months, they have not been receiving packages that we send them. They have received some packages that others have sent but not the ones we sent. There are some things in these packages that Mom and Dad really need. Also, their mail is in these packages. Please pray with us that these packages will arrive safely in the town of Goroka where they can be picked up.
Thank you so much for praying and have a blessed day everyone!
