WAMENA VALLEY, IRIAN JAYA

Pork chops anyone? We are at the main village market in this near-stone-age market.

I bought two stone axes here--the kind they used every day.

This is also the place and day I got a good dose of malaria. It was one of those female mosquitos that bit me that evening that got me.

Not much fun having malaria.

About three years later (why did we take so long) Jean and one of our council members prayed for me. Ten years later I have never had another attack of the spiking fevers and ague since that night.
