🏔️🏠 Brett has been back up in the mountains working on the house for the past 6 days with the missionary’s Zack Cann and Bryan Twombly. They have been doing more work on the homes systems. Here Brett is installing drain pipe for the washing machine, and on the roof they are putting in “gutters” for water catchment. They are also putting up wall paneling, installing kitchen and bathroom cabinets etc. The hope is to have the Cann’s house ready for move in sometime in June!
🚁Brett and the missionaries were scheduled to get picked up by the helicopter this Thursday, but their usual helicopter pilot has informed them of mechanical difficulties! 😳😬🫣😭 They are trying to find another helicopter that is available to come pick them up, but so far there’s nothing available. The alternative is to hike over the mountains about 2 days, then take a small boat around the coast back to Madang (missionary base)
🙏🏻 PLEASE PRAY some helicopter comes available! If not, that they will have a safe and uneventful hike. They can hire some natives to carry their bags, but they don’t have any sleeping/camping equipment. And it’s rainy season: apparently a pretty good rainy season!
If they make it out of the mountains in a timely manner, Brett will leave the missionary base to return home to TX on April 2. God Willing😅
