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)
