A Quick Note
Hi Folks
Just a quick note to fill you in on the last week or so. It has been very busy these last few months, too busy so this last week I took some time off flying just to rest from the demands. It was good timing as I was able to help our new traffic officer settle in to his new job, this will greatly lessen our work load here at RMG as Agisa will be able to take care of a lot of our paperwork and other duties. We also had Rachel here she helps out MAF families that are homeschooling, she was a big help to the kids and to Sue.
On Friday Dr Mike, Josh & I went to show the Jesus Film at Hesalibi a small village about 40 minutes away. We were welcomed by everyone in the village plus they were joined by another village which had walked in to see the film. Okay they didn’t just walk in; rather it was a five hour hike that most of us would not ever forget.
The film was greatly anticipated and appreciated. The pastors believe it will be a big help as they share and preach as they will be able to refer back to the movie for illustration and explanation. I will look forward to reports as they will talk about the films for a long time yet. The second film was End of the Spear the Nate Saint story of five missionaries killed in South America. They really relate to the Waidoni in the movie and share similar stories of violence. In fact they used to war with the village that was visiting.
One commented on how amazing it was that there was a camera there to capture the event. I had to explain they were just actors and that nobody was really hurt in the movie.
We arrived home after a full day in the bush eating bush food. I was very proud of Josh who just fits right in eating bush food. He even had 2nds and 3rds of sago which is basically just a starch derived from the pith of a sago palm.
Then today as we were heading out the door on the way to church Dr Addy called over the radio to say they needed a medivac right away as there was a new mom with a retained placenta and had lost a lot of blood. We got her out and back here to RMG in good time.
Just another day in the office I guess.
We are preparing to come home to Canada for a short break here in just a few more weeks. Please pray for us as we pack up, clean house, and hand over responsibilities prior to leaving.
Thanks for Praying!
