Again it has been a while since I've posted... Due again to a overzealous internet guardian... I can't upload photos yet though, not sure why...
So last week I's husband punched her in the head. Apparently I had broken his cell phone and he was angry about it. He said she had to buy a new one or he would break her stuff. She doesn't have money for a new one. So myself and a neighbour went to I's house and took her and her stuff (tv, playstation, and clothes) and brought them to our house. She spent the night. The next day her husband wanted her to come home and cook because all he had to eat was white rice... poor guy... then he really wanted the tv. He had gotten a satelite dish (really...) but it ain't useful without a tv. So she gave it. She ended up going back home that night to sleep because he had friends over and she knew he would have them sleep in their room. He tried to kick her out but she wouldn't go. The next day we had them both come and first Hugo talked with the husband, "T", and then the four of us talked. He later told I that he thought every word that we said was against him... that's how you feel when you're guilty isn't it? Anyways, we did our best to help them and hopefully can sit down with them next month again... if he'll agree to come...
On Sunday we had our entire church over for a potluck lunch. The day before one of the ladies had gone to the market to get chicken and I marinated it and we bbq'ed it after church. It was a lot of fun having them all over! Everyone brought some food and it was neat to try different things. (well, the kids didn't think so but we did...)
Tonight the third kodiak aircraft arrived safely after flying over the ocean. We're thankful for God's protection of the various pilots who flew the plane.

Hi, I enjoy reading your blog. We are just another missionary family here in Sentani but you don't know us cos we are not caucasians and we don't have kids at HIS. We are interested to know where this beach you are talking about. We thought it might be good to go there once in a while.
Hi. The beach is in Depapre. You drive to the dock in Depapre and then you take a boat to Harlem (that's the name of the beach). The boat may cost you between 250,000-300,000 (round trip). You can also go one beach further than Harlem and there are no pondoks and you don't have to pay for the use of the beach and the snorkeling is better. But if it rains there's not much shelter. Hope this helps!
Appreciate that. I guess I've not been around much to know these places. But thank you so much for the information. Praise the Lord also for your ministry among the locals.
