We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving with our team last week. Our teammates from New Zealand had their first Thanksgiving meal and really seemed to enjoy it.
Today some of the local people will try raising a Papuan flag to claim independence from Indonesia. This is illegal under Indo. law so who knows what will transpire. Please pray that their will be peaceful demonstrations. If you are interested in reading just a short history about it you can do a google search for Papuan Independence and read what wikipedia has to say. I found it very helpful to clear up a few questions that the local people couldn't answer for me.
We hope to have a snail mail newsletter coming your way soon!
