It was a year ago this month that Randy, Barb, Ashton, Angel and I flew to Los Angeles, boarded a huge double-decker jumbo jet and took off over the ocean! We landed safely in Brisbane, Austrailia and soon took off again.
What a thrill it was as we descended and saw the city of Port Moresby coming into view. Even as I write, tears come to my eyes as I recall wonderful memories!!
When we stepped off the airplane in New Guinea, it was a great thrill, and very humbling, for me to see a great crowd of preachers who had come to greet us because they loved Dad (some of them had sacrificed greatly to be there)!
From that moment on, we experienced blessing after blessing, and thrill after thrill as we traveled the very narrow road up to the highlands!! (Actually, our driver, one of the dear Christian men, slowed down from his normal speed for my sake!!) :)
Our family has not forgotten the many kindnesses of the Honorable Speaker Zurenuoc, and we pray that our wonderful Lord will grant him the wisdom, knowledge, courage and strength that he needs in these important days!
I don't expect to ever experience anything as thrilling as being able to see the cheering crowd of 100,000 or more people lining the streets to view the Bible as it was being carried through the city by some of the church leaders much like the Ark of the Covenant!
Our family is thinking of you again this week as you celebrate your Independence. We left a part of our hearts there with you in New Guinea, and if we are not able to meet again in this life, let us covenant together to meet again at Jesus' feet.
God bless you richly, and may He continue to use you for His glory and the upbuilding of His kingdom!
