Hey Everyone!!
So this is one of my favorite stories from Papua New Guinea. My team was planning on heading out to a nearby village for 2 weeks and while we were walking to the beach our dingy (boat) driver stopped us and told us that we weren't going because the village wasn't ready for us. We were confused because our main contact was already over in the village. So we turned around and went back to our host house discouraged as this was the second time we had planned to leave for a village but something stopped us. We went back to our house, set up our mosquito nets again and brainstormed as to what we could do that day. We decided that we would go to the hospital down the road and pray for people. There were 3 pregnant women we prayed for, one had walked a very long distance to give birth at that hospital, one was having complications because the baby was turned the wrong way, and one was 5 weeks over due. We prayed for each woman individually and then went back to our host home. The next morning we found out that ALL 3 babies were born that evening!! They were all healthy and we even got to go visit 2 of them. I had been praying for a miracle before coming to PNG and God blessed me by letting me witness and be a part of this amazing story.  One of my favorite things about this story is how God took our discouragement of not getting to go to a village and turned it into good.
