Yahoo!! The boat with all of our kids arrived safely in Nabire after 36 hours. There were 71 of them all in one open room with 10 beds. Crazy! Two of our big, strong guys and one leader were the “security” for the room and it was a good thing too because a few times random people tried to get into their room. At one point in the trip, a young drunk man fell overboard. The boat turned around and looked for him for an hour or so but they could not find him. One of the teachers had her wallet stolen getting off the boat. The kids mentioned that they were able to see flying fish and dolphins. They said that the sunrise from the boat was amazing! One of our dorm boys was able to talk to the 3rd mate and got to drive the boat for a bit.
They seem to be in good spirits. They had a 35 minute bus ride and then went to a Indonesian Youth Group, slept, and then left on airplanes to fly to the Moi tribe at 5:40 the next morning. Pray for good health, safety, patience and many opportunities to share God’s love.
If you would like me to send you the unabridged version of the OE updates let me know and I would be happy to do that.
Love you-
Rachel
