Justin and Becky Burt Just another weblog Just wanted to send out the latest news on Maret, the little boy that was medivaced out of here for cerebral malaria. He is FAR from being better but is hanging on and is showing signs of improvement. Praise the LORD!!!! For example he is starting to cry a bit and make some noises on his own…which is a good thing. He still can’t sit up on his own, but is making small movements. His dad says he sees some improvement, but it will be a while before he gets out of the hospital. Thanks for praying for this little boy, he is about 8. We will keep you posted as we hear.
We are doing well here. The weather has cleared up from fog to sun still lots of rain but that is to be expected. We have been playing outside, spending time at the river, visiting tribal huts, homeschooling, doing medical, and of course studying. We are able to understand more of what the people are saying in Morop all the time so that is encouraging us as we study. Justin has been working on creating an alphabet from all the sounds they have here in Morop. In the last two weeks we have started visiting the tribal huts as a family on tuesday and thursday nights and we are have enjoyed getting to know the Morop one family at a time. There are 60 houses here and we live right in the middle of the village so we should be able to keep busy. There houses are one room square and have a fire pit in the center for light, keeping warm and cooking. Usually there is a side for the women and a side for the men, so we sit down and get to visiting, as best we can. The other night Ethan was able to illicit a few Morop words and he found a letter combination that we had not gotten yet so that was cool for our analysis. Okay friends, we just wanted to say hi and thank you for praying for us as we press on in here.
Your Missionaries to the Morop,
Justin, Becky, Ethan and Derek Burt
