Gimi jobs finished.  Bill and Erwin ready to return

Thank you so much for praying!  Thank you to those who sent a note also in response to my bulletin last night.

By lunch sched today the jobs in Gimi were finished.  Bill had found some scraps of lighting wire around and had been able to piece them together to rewire the guest house.  Tomorrow morning I have to send in a shower bucket and 4 fluorescent tubes from Josh to fit.

Unfortunately Josh and Lynne haven't quite mastered how to send and receive email using the modem and the radio yet.  Tonight Josh was going to go a bit higher up the ridge to the site of Soma's old house where Soma manages to connect to the Digicel network so that he could ring Chris Walker and get some more help.  Please pray about this so that they can have contact with the outside world via email.

An exciting piece of news is that Siri'o and Gibsen feel ready to believe the Lord that He will enable them to translate the Melanesian Pidgin  lessons for 2 Corinthians into the East Gimi language.  I have just now printed out 2 copies of the set of lessons and those will be going in tomorrow also for them to start working.
