Tyler and Emily in PNG

Last time I posted, I started to feel ill however I was hoping it was something small and it would pass quickly. This past week I was sick all week with a cold/cough/virus something. I am feeling much better now and believe I am on the way to recovery. I still have a slight cough and not back to 100% yet. I have not missed any work but I have rested well every night which my body needed.

The sage of obtaining my PNG driver’s license continues. Last week Tues (May 10) I went to apply for my driver’s license. You first have to go to the Traffic Division to apply then you go to the provincial office to pay, then you go to another office to get your picture taken. My task was to do all this in one day. Well, as of today, I am still waiting to complete the last step in the process. On Tues (May 10) after paying K60 for a 3 yr license, I find out they are not taking pictures until Thurs, May 12. So I go back Thurs morning to a line of 20 people ahead of me. Before joining the line, hoping this would be a quick thing I got a call from the office stating that an internet client of PBT could not access the internet. I told the office I was getting my license and would be there as soon as I could. Now after 45 mins of standing in line, I have not moved an inch I decided I have better things to do than stand in line this morning. I left and went to the PBT office thinking I can get my license another day.

Fast forwarding to this week, as I said I have not been feeling well but on Thursday I felt good enough to go try again to get my license. (FYI: You can only get your license on Tues and Thurs.) The drivers license office opened at 9am so I wanted to be first in line and not have to stand in line behind 20 people for another 45 mins. I got there 10 till 9am and waited. The door finally opens and I enter to find another sign reading, ‘Sorry we will not be taking driver license photos until 1 pm today.’ Ah, frustrated yet again. Here it is drizzling rain, I rode my bike, skipped work in the morning, and still not feeling well all to find out my plan has failed.

The sage will continue next week, when I will give it another shot on Tues for a chance to get my photo taken. I will repeat the process and try to be first in line yet again.

Prayer Requests:
Health – God to restore my health and quickly get over this sickness
Driver’s License – I will be able to obtain my license this upcoming week
Continue to understand the IT networks and systems here in the office

Praises:
Starting to feel better, as I believe the worst part is over
