Yesterday I decided to go out to the Sunday night service in Tsigmadru. I wanted to talk with Hans and Nelutu about plans for today and see several of the village people. And I hadn't been out to a service yet! So I was eager to go. From the moment we arrived at the church, it was obvious that something was wrong. Upon approaching Roberta's van full of American students and Nelutu, we found out that Nelutu's grandmother had been hit by a car on the main road in the village. She was in critical condition. The woman who is the general caretaker of the church is Magda Cini, Nelutu's mother. It was Magda's mother who was in the accident and Magda and Hans had left the church to go to her mother in this time of dire need. In the end, nothing could be done and "Magda's Mama" passed away last night.
Obviously this is a difficult time for the church and especially to the Cini family. Please be praying that in this time of grief, they would be comforted by God's loving touch. That an unexplainable peace would overcome the church and it's people.

Hon,
I will be praying for Nelutu, Magda, and the church at Tsigmondru. It is my experience over the past year, Mel, that those things that were intended to harm us, God can use for our good, to build His Kingdom, and to bring Him glory.
Love you, MOM
So sorry to hear of this tragic loss for all. Our love and heartfelt prayers.
Love, the Kennedys
