Update

Well, let's see if I can bring you up to date on what's been going on since my last post. The school situation seems to have settled down, at least for the time being. Some of the involved students and parents were even at church yesterday morning, a definite praise.
 
On the container side of things, Brother Randy left early Tuesday morning to go to Goroka. He stayed there for a few days waiting for Michael Berbin to get things cleared in Lae. They weren't able to get the container inspected until Thursday morning, but when it was done, it was incredibly short and painless. The men unloaded all the loose items in the container into three pickups and brought them to Goroka to Terry Ritschard's house (another GFA missionary here). Michael Berbin then turned around and went back to Lae (about 4 hours away) to try to make arrangements for a large flatbed truck to take the bulldozers to the start of the bush road. At this point, we aren't sure when that will happen. In addition, Brother Randy's pickup developed some issues on the way back to Goroka for Lae, so it is at the mechanic's shop for the time being.
 
Please continue to pray for all the details associated with this project. Lord willing, the machines will arrive in Kiari sometime this week, but there is still much to be done for that to happen.
