Earlier this year we mentioned in an update that our son Luke was dating Kate Brown (whose family had lived in Ukarumpa for about 5 years). Before Brena and I left PNG at the end of April, Luke told us that he and Kate were thinking about getting married in June (as opposed to sometime in the fall), so it wasn’t a complete surprise to us when they told us just over a week ago that the wedding will be June 15^th! It will be held at Kate’s parents and grandparents’ property in Chattanooga, TN, and will be fairly small with just family and close friends. We are really happy for them and thankful we will have another wonderful daughter-in-law! Shortly after their wedding they will be moving to Charleston, SC, where Kate has a nursing job lined up.

Brena and I managed to change our return flights to PNG without too much pain/expense and we have also found housing and vehicles to use up until the time of the wedding. We are thankful for God’s provision! We now plan to leave the U.S. on June 19^th to return to PNG.

PRAISE & PRAYER:

• We are very thankful that Luke has found a wonderful girl who loves the Lord (and him)!
• It’s been encouraging to see how God has helped us in changing our plans and in finding housing and transport for our extra time in the States.
• Please pray that God will help Luke and Kate as they prepare to be married, make arrangements for the wedding, and start their new life together.
• I will be doing a consultant check a few days after we arrive back to PNG in late June, so please pray that I will have enough time to prepare for it.
