Shalom, dear all!
Thank you for praying faithfully for us. It is almost two weeks since the largest riot ever in Ambunti. The police came late, but they finally came, and the revenge actions of the two big clans were finally put to rest. Thank God for his protection: A week ago, we were informed that someone would come to the construction site where PIM was working to seek revenge. This allowed us to stop in time a temporary worker from coming to work. The next day, many people really came to the construction site with bush knives and they left they were sure that the temporary worker was not found.
感謝您忠心地為我們禱告。距離安布恩提有史以來最大規模的暴動及即將屆兩個星期。警方姍姍來遲，但總算來了，兩個大家族的復仇行動才算消停。感謝上帝的保守，一周前有人來報信，有人會來PIM正在進行施工的工地尋仇，這讓我們及時令一位臨時工別來上班。隔日真有許多人提著開山刀來到工地，確定找不著那個臨時工，這一夥人才離開。
I couldn't sleep well for several nights because I was worried about Beverlyn and Jennifer. Douglas talked to me for a long time every night. We both didn't get enough sleep and caught a cold. Then, I started to sleep well after seeing Beverlyn return to Ambunti three days ago. Now our cold has healed. She told me that she and Jennifer took a boat back to their tribal village in the dark on Wednesday morning and received treatment at the PIM clinic in their village. (PIM set up seven medical centers in the middle and upper flow of the Sepik River.) At PIM medical center, the arrow that pierced through her thigh was removed, and the wounds on Jennifer's arm caused by a bush knife were sutured. Although both of them were seriously injured, thank God for protecting them. I saw that Beverlyn's wound is recovering well. However, she has lost sensation in her right calf and foot, and needs us to pray continuously. On the day of the incident, everyone who saw Jennifer's injuries thought she would not survive. Thank God, she is not in danger of death now. Beverlyn and I met and cried with tears of gratitude. Next, Beverlyn will attend the SSEC national conference with her pastor husband, and then return to her tribe. I hope the police can quickly clarify the case, punish the troublemakers, and let the innocent people who have been affected return and rebuild their homes.
因著擔憂貝芙琳與珍妮芙，我好幾個晚上都睡不好。道格拉斯每晚都要陪我講話很久，我們兩個人都睡眠不足也感冒了。三天前看到貝芙琳回安布恩提，我才開始晚上可以安睡，現在感冒也已痊癒。她告訴我，她與珍妮芙星期三清晨摸黑搭船回本家部落之後，在PIM於部落開設的診所獲得醫治。(PIM在希比克大河中游及上游地區開設了七所醫療中心。) 在PIM的醫療中心，插穿她大腿的箭矢得以拔除，珍妮芙手上被開山刀砍的傷口得以縫合。雖然他們倆人傷勢都很嚴重，但是感謝上帝保守，我看貝芙琳的傷口恢復情況很好。只是她目前右腿小腿及腳掌失去知覺，需要大家持續禱告。事發當天，有看到珍妮芙傷勢的人都以為她活不了了。感謝上帝，她目前沒有生命危險。我和貝芙琳兩人見面抱頭大哭，是感恩的眼淚。接下來貝芙琳會和她的牧師老公參加SSEC的全國聯會，然後再次回本家部落。希望警方儘快釐清案情，懲處滋事之徒，讓無辜受累的人能安心回來重建家園。
During this period, Mrs. Carson went out of town to attend a two-week joint church meeting, so Merolyn was the only student left in the sewing training class in Ambunti. She had completed sewing the donut by herself. So, I let her sew the decoration collar of the choir robe by herself. It was great that she successfully figured out the method by herself, and I just had to teach her how to make the edges and corners exquisite and beautiful. Douglas and I will leave Ambunti on the 23rd and head for Cairns, Australia. When we are not at Ambunti, Merolyn will teach other women how to sew choir robe collars, and will also help me manage sewing resources such as sewing machines, fabrics, zippers, etc..
這段時間，恰逢卡森太太到外地參加教會的聯合聚會兩周，留在安布恩提的縫紉訓練班學生只剩梅若琳。之前她靠自己摸索，完成縫製甜甜圈。我就讓她自己再摸索著縫製詩班袍領片。太棒了，她自己成功摸索到做法了，我只需指點她如何把邊緣及轉角做得精緻漂亮。我和道格拉斯23日即將離開安布恩提，動身前往澳洲的凱恩斯。我們不在安布恩提的時候，梅若琳會教導其他婦女縫製詩班袍領片，也會協助我管理縫紉機、布料、拉鍊等等縫紉資源。
Ighona, the only new student in this sewing training class, has already taken two classes. I enjoy the 1-1 class, so I can teach and do housework at the same time. She is very nervous and puts a lot of pressure on herself. In fact, she has a strong learning ability and learns quickly, but learning requires stable emotion, a long-term vision, and finding out her own learning advantages in order to learn for long term. I hope God will put heavenly peace in her so that she can experience God's presence through learning and prayer.
“In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,--- Isaiah 30:15.
這次縫紉訓練班的唯一新生苡芶娜已經上兩堂課了。我很享受人數少，可以一邊教學、一邊做家事。她則很緊張，給自己很大壓力。其實她學習能力強，學得快，只是學習這件事必須要有穩定的情緒，放遠眼光，找出自己的學習優勢，才能學得長久。希望上帝將屬天的平安放在她裡面，讓她能透過學習、禱告，經歷上帝的同在。
“你們得救，在乎歸回安息；你們得力，在乎平靜安穩。”---以賽亞書30:15。
At this time when revenge may be imminent, we hope to leave Ambunti on the 23rd by small plane instead of by water or land. This year, the government did not allocate funds for the maintenance of the airstrip. The airstrip in Ambunti was announced closed at the end of last month. Douglas drove the tractor to the airstrip to mow the grass but was stopped by the maintenance contractor. He was told that we had to pay the contractor toll before we were allowed to mow the grass. In fact, the grass had grown to a length that the contractor's large mower could not mow. Thank God for giving Douglas wisdom, so that he could be patient and negotiate a win-win payment method with the other group and the airstrip maintenance contractor. He had already finished the second mowing yesterday. After we leave on the 23rd, the contractor can use their mower to do the third mowing, so that the other group can fly to Ambunti at the end of the month. I am amazed by God’s Presence with Him. How could have Douglas served here for decades without God!
在這個復仇行動可能一觸即發的時段，我們希望23日離開安布恩提時是透過小飛機，而不是通過水路及陸路。今年政府沒有撥款提供飛機跑道的維修，上月底安布恩提的飛機跑道被公告封閉。道格拉斯自己開著拖拉機到飛機跑道割草卻被維修承包商制止，聽說我們必須付給承包商用路費才准許割草。其實草已經長到承包商的大型割草機都割不動的長度。感謝上帝給道格拉斯智慧，讓他能夠耐著性子，與另一團體以及飛機跑道的維修承包商協商出一個三贏的付款方式。昨天他已經完成了第二次割草，我們23日離開後，承包商可以用他們的割草機做第三次割草，讓另一團體可於月底搭機抵達安布恩提。我不禁要因上帝的同在驚嘆不已[S1] 。若非上帝的同在，道格拉斯怎能在這裡服事數十載呢？
Please remember us in your prayers.
