Learning, experiencing a lot
Here’s a summary of my past few days at Interface in Papua New Guinea:
There is rarely a dull moment here, but we are learning so much. Please pray for me to stay strong physically. I had to miss a day of classes on Saturday when I was too worn out to keep going. God has been faithful to provide all that we need, and we thank you for your support and your prayers!
