Andy and Fonda Kline Ministry news and information for you... 
This is an article Jen posted on the MTC youth group’s blog…
After scrubbing our numerous dishes last night with fellow crew members Bryan, Nat, and Natan, I headed over to our nightly meeting. We always gather in the Girl’s Building to sing, do a short devotional, and share different thoughts about what God is teaching us. Right after we finished singing praise songs (most of which were in the page 40 range) we heard someone knocking on the front door. When we opened the door after a minute’s hesitation, we found an older tribal couple. They had heard us singing and had come to watch. Curdy read our devotional while the couple sat there watching and listening although they could not understand a word he was saying. We then proceeded to get out the guitars once more to sing some more songs for them to hear. This is just one encouraging example of the tribal people’s growing interactions with us. At first they were very shy, but the longer we stay, the more they open up to us. As Kayla said above, the children have started laughing and playing with us instead of peeking timidly at us from around a corner.
After we ended our evening of fellowship and the couple departed, the adventures had only just begun! We were all getting ready for bed when I heard a sudden commotion from one of the inner rooms. When I went to investigate, I saw what others had only just discovered…a large tarantula!!
The black, hairy thing was perched on the wall just
above someone’s bed! A group of us earlier in the afternoon had fixed the tiling of the building, so all the little (or rather large) creatures hiding out of sight had been disturbed. Mr. Parker was ready to dispose of the beast with a flip-flop, but after seeing how massive the fist-sized spider was, he thought better of his choice of destruction. A large can was brought, and the tarantula was carried out of the building and later…ok so I was about to say that it was killed BUT… Natan here just informed me that the spider is still alive and breathing outside in his tin prison! Ugh! I wish they would have killed it!
