Update

I leave with a team of nine for Indonesia in less than seven hours. It is exciting and also a very long trip. I have done it many times and I always have the an excitement about going to serve at our base and to see lots of my Indonesian friends. The team of volunteers is the bonus. What a privilege to be with such amazing people.

I have an update on the two burn victims (I mentioned in an earlier post). Yulens and her husband have made it to the Bethesda Hospital in Kalimantan (Borneo). She will bein the skin grafts surgeies soon. On the other hand Nur is stuck in Manado. She tried to board a flight accompanied by a one of our staff doctors and her husband but the airline officials would not let her on the flight. This is so discouraging for her.

Peter Scarborough has tried to open other doors and they have all closed to this point. MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) was not able to get their plane to Manado to help. We are back to the start and because Nur is so badly burned the airlines did not want to be liable. She is loosing hope--please say a prayer for her.
