Updates

Thanks for your prayers for us. We are trying to get to the point where we can print out our students' notebooks today so the binder has time to bind them before fourth term classes start Monday. Jeff is preparing two notebooks, and I am working on one.

In another area, the CLTC employee who is awaiting trial has been suffering asthma attacks. She has been taken to the hospital twice because the other inmates smoke and she has trouble breathing the smoky air. The guards have allowed her to sit in and sleep in the reception area so she has purer air to breathe. Please pray for her improved health, and that a just trial will be held 29 September as (re)scheduled.

The last update is on our washing machine. Our CLTC delivery truck transported it safely to Kainantu (a four-hour drive away) and technicians picked it up and took it to Ukarumpa (another half-hour drive). The technicians say the trouble was with the transmission. If all goes well, the delivery truck will bring the washer back next Wednesday. We are so glad our neighbors have allowed us to use their loaner in the meantime.
