Email Update: 16 November 2007
Dear Friends,
Thanks for your prayers about the PNG visas for Samuel, Matthew and Rebekah. So far Port Moresby has not given the High Commission in Canberra permission to issue them. Sarah is still waiting in Cairns with the three children. Dave had to leave Australia because his Australian visa was about to expire and now he and Joanna are settling back into life in PNG. Things are going ok for all of us where we are, but, of course, we'd rather be together! Please keep praying!
Love,
Dave, Sarah, Joanna, Samuel, Matthew and Rebekah

The 11th hour update
Dear Friends and Family,
We are here in Cairns, and have been wondering if the visas would arrive in time for us to come to PNG together. But they haven't come yet, so we have moved to Plan B, which is for Dave and Joanna to fly up to Ukarumpa tomorrow, and Sarah and the three younger children to stay in Cairns and fly up later. We don't know how long it will take to get the visas, but we're hoping it doesn't take very long! Please pray with us that the visas will arrive soon. She will be staying in a motel run jointly by Wycliffe Bible Translators and Mission Aviation Fellowship. The Lord knows what is happening, and we feel perfect peace knowing he is in control!
Thank you, dear friends!
Love,
Dave and Sarah
