Still waiting...

I, Sarah, am now back in Canada! I've been busy getting checkups and various tests done, as I'm 31 weeks pregnant now and the doctors need to catch up.

Derek is still in Indonesia, waiting on his visa. Because I couldn't wait any longer, due to my pregnancy, to return to Canada I had to forfeit my visa. This isn't a problem. I can get my visa back under Derek when we return to Indonesia next year. The delays seem to keep coming with the visa renewal process. We want Derek to get this visa quickly so he can join me and our baby in Canada, yet we trust that the Lord has a plan in this all. Please be in prayer with us about this.

Since Derek was staying in Papua, he decided he mind as well go into Dao for a few days to see how things are going. He wasn't able to get a heli flight in, so he took a small airplane to the closest airstrip and hiked 5 days to our hamlet. Along the way, he was able to visit several hamlets he had never seen before, as-well as visit with some of our friends. It sounds like all are doing well in Dao, and the teachers are continuing to faithfully teach each Sunday from the Word. We hope to have an update out soon to tell you more about this hike into Dao, but we still don't have many of your email addresses. Please send those our way!!

Thank you for your continued prayers for us and the Dao. We appreciate you all very much!
Sarah, for the Grants
