Off we go

Today (our Sunday) we begin our journey home. We will spend two extra nights in Sydney to see the sights before going to LA then Denver. I initially thought it would be fun, as I am sure it will be, but now we wish we were staying here two more days. We had a root beer float party on Friday night and the folks on the base here presented us with beautiful bowl made by a gal here in Madang. It is blue and white. They wrote a sweet card that everyone signed. It was very special.

We ask again for your prayers as several of the other girls have come down with fever. We think it may be a virus that has gotten to us. We have lots of traveling to do so we would really appreciate your lifting us up. We now think this may be what Mary had, just more severe than the other girls. We are continuing to treat her for malaria and she is feeling much better today.

We have so enjoyed hearing from everyone since we've been here. It has gone very quickly by. We were able to spend our last full day yesterday diving and snorkeling and enjoying God's beautiful creation. The snorkeling was beautiful, different reef, with parrot fish, puffer fish and lots of clown fish. So much more that I don't know the name of but God does. He knows we need help with illness and He knows so much more!

Love,
Tracie
