A dinner is held for some of our new friends from the States

Scott -- a representative from Global Health Ministries

Connie -- a representative from King’s Daughters’ Hospital IN

Doug -- a representative from Rotary Café

Hand shakes all around

Thanking the whole crew for helping to keep our hospital stocked with supplies

The three musketeers enjoying their gifts

. Laurence, our med student for the month, and missionary Terry Borchert join in the picture taking

The next day I head with them to Hagen in the hospital ambulance

A bit later we get a visit from Brenton Paix, an MAF pilot, and his wife Ailse, son Rob and daughter-in-law Theresa

September ends and now it’s Laurence’s turn to say goodbye

The hospital gives him a bilum and Hagen hat

Now he looks like a Papua New Guinean, sort of

Laurence with all his “mates” at the hospital

And then our last guest was actually not our guest, but the Bells’ daughter Deborah. It’s always fun to have them around.
