Cherith Balin turned 6 this past Friday and we all celebrated by having a party in the park. The Balin's (Brad, Nikolai, Cherith and Mekelle) are currently serving with MAF in the Western Province of PNG. Before being assigned to Western Province they were stationed in Hagen and before that Nikolai was a MK teacher here at Kudjip. So we consider them part of our Kudjip family and enjoy the time they share with us. They are getting ready to leave PNG in November and head to Australia and wherever God takes them after that, so this was their last time at Kudjip. The girls have lots of playmates here who are going to be sad to see them go and many of us are going to miss Nikolai and Brad's friendship. Pray for them as they make this transition.
