*This past weekend has been a difficult one for the M community here in Papua. Saturday morning a pilot with one of the mission aviation orgs here took off from one village, checked in by radio, and was never heard from again. Search planes were sent out, including one from MAF, and found the ELT beacon signalling from a mountain ridge but could not spot the plane because of cloud coverage. On Sunday the weather was clear and the result we were all hoping for was not to be. The wreckage of the plane was clearly seen scattered over the ridge. Please pray for the wife and five children of the pilot as they have much to deal with right now. An event like this shakes everyone up and does remind us that God can call us at any time.
*Last week our pastor's wife gave birth to a baby girl. She weighed 3.5 kilos at birth (huge for here) and has yet to be named. She was born in the evening at a little government subsidized clinic at a cost of 200.000 rupiahs or $20CAD, and went home the next morning. All seems to be well with mother and child. (I haven't had a chance to visit yet but will be sure to take photos when I do)
