Dear Friends and Family,

     Today was another full day down here in PNG. We began today with breakfast as usual here at the Mission Guest House. We actually had fellow Americans at the table with us—a team of engineering students from Baylor Univeristy will be in Mount Hagen for a few days before they leave for some more remote villages to set up hydro-generators. We attended the worship service this morning at the Mount Hagen Church the Bennetts are a part of. Nathan preached while we led some of the music. Several (actually more than several) groups from the church also shared special music and led some more singing. It was a wonderful service—the people from the church really responded to the message.

    The Bennetts took us out to eat for lunch at the Mount Hagen Club and we returned to the mission guest house for an afternoon of rest. This evening we had another great evening of games and fellowship at the Bennett’s. All in all, we had a very relaxing day in preparation for our last week here. We are looking forward to making more progress on the latrine tomorrow, so be in prayer for our strength and energy. The Bennetts all seem to have recovered from their bouts with colds and bronchitis, and Stephanie is completely over her parasites, and we praise God for that.

    We also praise God for the wonderful weekend and the amazing response we had to our youth camp services. These last few days have been both honoring and humbling for our team and we thank you for your prayers and support.
Love, Lisette and the PNG team
