Riot Day?

Last week a young man from the Highlands was killed here in Lae, which resulted in further fighting and houses being burned down. As a result the tribesmen of this young man requested to meet with the Governor yesterday to present a petition. This meeting took place near Jonathan's school and so it was closed for the day, in case the crowd who gathered got out of control. Thankfully, the meeting went over peacefully (and we hope for a peaceful resolution too) and Jonathan was glad to have the day off! Especially since it was the last day that our friends from out of town were visiting. He and Karlyn had a great day together with Philemon and Joel.
Karlyn says she wants to marry Philemon!
