I realized that I neglected to mention in my last post that Hugo had made it safely home on Friday afternoon. He had a productive week in cool Wamena. It is located up in the moutains so the air is dry and much cooler than here on the coast. Hugo had to wear a sweater in the mornings!
That night the school had its annual fun night. Each grade mans a booth or two and kids get tickets to play the games or sign up their friends or family members to get soaked or forced to sing into a mic. (Brynnie paid herself to sing "Twinkle twinkle little star") There are lots of candies to be won. The children of all the national workers at the school are also invited so it's a bit of a crazy time. But the kids love it! This year Mikah's class manned the dunking booth and she's been waiting and waiting for her turn to do it so this was a big year for her! Marc decided to become a target at the sponge throw and helped out throwing the sponges back. What a guy!
In other news, Ice's hubby came back and said sorry, while crying and she said sorry back and so things are on the mend. Whew...
With Ritha and family however, things are not so great. This Thursday they are going to decide what is to happen with Ritha's adopted daughter Awi. If she gets to stay with Ritha or if she has to go with her biological mother, who happens to be pregnant, to Timika. This is very hard for Ritha as she knows that this woman is not a believer as she is.
Then last night Ritha's older brother beat up their younger sister because their mom didn't give him some of the 10 million that she received from the sister's boyfriends family! So she gave him her wages for the month of October! She's looking pretty bad today, poor girl. Please remember these God-fearing women in your prayers. They are going through a really tough time right now.
There is also another plane missing. You can read about it here.
