Good morning! Another trip to the doctor has brought us to a new idea and another set of meds. Garry started a round of antibiotics yesterday and is back in the air again today. The doctor suspects an internal infection and possibly typhoid. Garry has a long flight day, so we're praying for extra strength to finish what needs done!

We're thankful we received the papers we were waiting for! Our representative in Manila made two or three trips to the office (a big time investment because of traffic and the location of the offices!) and received the papers late yesterday morning. Thanks, Rich!

Today Garry's taking one of our tribal teams back home. They've been out for a while and are very happy to be going home! Later today he'll head up north and pick up a language consultant and take him to his next location to continue doing language checks. Consultants are helpful to our missionaries in letting them know where they're at and how they can best study to improve their language skills.

Garry took this picture of a man with his new oven. This is a pretty complex oven, though made from mostly local materials. Some of the missionaries are teaching the tribal folks to make them so they can bake and cook without using a lot of wood or charcoal. It's really quite ingenious. Kevin would love to make one, if we were just settled for a bit longer!
