Email update: 4 May 2011
Somehow April has flown past and now we're up to May already! It seems
like time here in Australia has been passing very quickly, and now we're
only about four weeks from our planned departure date! We have seven
speaking engagements in these next weeks and would still like to catch
up with those of you that we haven't seen yet. Please ring us if you'd
like to get together:
Dave: 0403 738 502
Sarah: 0413 347 362
We have been able to meet with many friends and family here in
Australia, including those in Melbourne whom we visited for a week
during school holidays. We have had many good times with family,
including a time with the boys called "Boy Camp" and a similar time with
all the female family members called ...wait for it... "Girl Camp". :)
While the boys seemed to feel camping outside and playing on the beach
was important, the girls did things like have a tea party, put on nail
polish, and watch the royal wedding! :) It's such a blessing to have
friends and family, and they are a gift from God! You are our friends,
of course, and we're thankful for you!
Our financial support is right up near 100% of our quota, so financially
we are cleared to return to PNG. This is a huge answer to prayer, and
we're praising the Lord! We have almost finished the medical, dental and
blood work required to return. In terms of our PNG visas, we are
currently waiting for the PNG High Commission in Brisbane to approve our
PNG resident visas. We haven't bought our return airline tickets, as we
want to make sure we have the visas before we buy the tickets. Could you
please pray that we would receive our visas in time to purchase cheap
airline tickets to return to PNG?
Thank you, dear friends! God bless you,
Dave and Sarah
