Furlough Travels

Hello Friends!
This morning we are flying to Port Morsbey - Brisbane - Sydney for the first stage of our furlough travels.

We fly to Johannesburg on Sunday where we will be for all of July. Early August we head to Australia for a month. We hope to catch up and report back with our supporters, both individuals and churches. We will be back in Mt Hagen at the end of August.

Looking forward to seeing some of you soon!

Arm update

We ran back out to the Kudjip hospital one Wednesday for a check up of Megs arm. Occasionally, these types of breaks can pop back after they have been set, so a check us was needed. Megs had a x-ray, and her arm is healing nicely. Dr Samson, our visiting Orthopedic Surgeon put a hot pink cast on her arm - of which she is very proud! Thanks to those who prayed, we have been so blessed to have good care for Megs over this time!

Pizza + Climbing Trees = a Broken Arm.

Waiting for a x-ray at the hospital at Kudjip

Sore arm.

On Friday night, we were having a lovely end-of-the-week pizza night with a couple of other MAF families, and our Meggy fell our of a tree and hurt her wrist. Lesson learnt... slippery hands from greasy pizza and tree climbing do not mix!

Fortunately, David Mills (a family friend and doctor) happened to be in town. Dave and his family normally live out bush a couple of hours drive away, so we got him to look at her arm and confirmed that Meggy had indeed broken her wrist, and a trip to the Kudjip hospital was in order.

Dave kindly offered to come with us to the hospital the following morning, and set the arm himself (saving us hours of waiting in queues). When we arrived at the hospital the next morning, we were delighted to discover that there was a Orthopedic Surgeon from America visiting the hospital for a few weeks, and he was more than happy to help us out. God really looked after our Meggy!
