We are here in PNG to bridge the gap for lost souls to go to heaven. We also have a more physical gap that was recently bridged. The bridges in PNG often decline rapidly. People may decide they need that piece of wood for their fires or to repair their houses. This bridge was recently fixed. It had been in a state of disrepair for 2 years or more. It has been with just the I-beams to cross for at least a year as that is how long we have lived up here. We were pleased to see that recently the local people repaired it! It was nice to be able to walk across it without fear of falling into the water.
Now what will we have to show people who come visit? I am sure we can find something in this land of natural beauties and ruggedness. Maybe it will be a stone bridge, or a breathtaking waterfall. Anyone want to rough it? Do you like to hike, camp? Maybe you should plan a trip to this remote area of PNG and have a look for yourself! We'd love to have you come for a visit. We do our best to accommodate with what we can get into this remote place.
(friend's comment: I am posting this for Christi since she doesn't get internet long enough to put it up on the net herself. She wrote this March 11. The photos of the bridge before it was repaired are captured from a video that my daughter took on Feb. 17, so the quality is not as good as Christi's phone camera takes. The video was taken as the men left for a three-day hike back into the mountains to visit a remote village. I tried to give you a feel for how hard it was to balance as you crossed. I personally could not walk across it, but had to wade through the water upstream.-JRP)
