The internet has been down for 7 days.  During those 7 days I worked 
from 6am to past 12 midnight nearly every day with very very short meal 
breaks.  I learned a lot about VSAT but the bottom line is, it's a very 
touchy technology.
During those 7 days:
-The bridge went out, and the main grocery supply in town burned down 
(accidental).
which means
-Fuel and cooking gas are rationed (can't get supplies)
-Food is rationed (can't get supplies)
It seems like hard times right now here for us, it's been a really tough 
week.  I had to cancel the trip I was expecting to go to Port Moresby 
and help setup a new VSAT but I can't go now because the internet is 
still down.
Each of these bullet items is a very long story, but I'm too tired to 
write much more than that at this time.
Pray for energy, please, and for things to start getting fixed and 
working again.  I would appreciate it greatly.
We know God is good, even when we hit tough times.  Which is why I'm 
asking you to turn to Him in prayer for us.
thanks
