Alex left for his 24 hour stay in a village at 7 this morning. The rest of us, Daniel Lilienkamp, Gary Kallansrud and I launched into an all day session with our computer students. The day was frustrating, maddening and at the same time, invigorating. The Internet provider moved with a speed that could only be described as "glacial". And our Papua New Guinea CoSyns had about as steep a learning curve as anyone on the planet. But they were excited and determined hung in there into the late afternoon, learning and problem-solving until every one of them was sending and receiving emails, with attachments, and looking up subjects on the world-wide web. We all ended the day drained, but with a deep sense of accomplishment. We begin and end each day with prayer, and even now we hear the singing of the local Christians having their evening worship. Tomorrow we get a break. We will travel to Senior Flierl seminary to see missionary Ann Klavano and visit at least one of her classes. We hope to get in a swim and perhaps a little snorkeling as well. However, our computer class is expecting us to get back in time to have a late afternoon session with the computers. Well, almost bed time. More later. (By Gary Teske)
