Maria, a Bible school student in Papua New Guinea, received word her mother had died. As she journeyed to her village, she talked to her Heavenly Father. "God, I don't understand, I know that she is with you now, but my mother was young and what about my little sister?"
The Lord said to her, "Maria, I am going to raise your mother from the dead."
Maria responded, "Yes, I know you are coming for Your own."
When she arrived home, the scene was typical: woman had covered their bodies with mud and some had cut off the tips of their fingers, letting blood drip on their bodies to show the spirits they were sorry.
Maria told the villagers that she wanted to pray for her mother.
"You are a bit late," they mocked her, but they showed her the hut where her mother lay.
Maria prayed, "God, please show my people they do not need to mourn." Suddenly she realized that she no longer heard wailing. She ran out of the hut to see her mother standing in the middle of the village.
"I have been somewhere so beautiful, with beautiful streets and houses!" she said. "Someone touched me and said, 'That is your house. You may enter, but if you do, you must stay.'"
"I have a three-year-old daughter," she replied, "I need to go and take care of her." And with that, she awoke, to the amazement and great joy of her family and village!

Thank you, Father, for your resurrection power! Help me to believe you for great things in all the circumstances of my life...
It doesn't say how long she had to travel to get back to her village. Given transportation in that region, probably hours.
