We are back from POC (Pacific Orientation Course) As many of you know I (Ruth) was not all that excited about this new adventure. And of course since opposites attract Chad couldn’t wait to get started. I really felt the prayers of everyone while we were doing this course. So thank you very much. Our health was good, nothing major to speak of, which is usually not the case when in that environment. The heat and humidity was intense especially close to the coast (down in Madang and in our village during our 5 day village stay it is really hot and humid). Cold showers have never felt so good even Kiery and Anna enjoyed them.
Our typical day was Breakfast @ 7am,
School start for girls and classes for us @ 8am,
Morning Tea @ 9:30 (snack time) with our Tok Pisin teacher
10:00 More classes for us adults.
12:15 Lunch
1:00-2:00 rest time (or get laundry from the line, get kids ready for afternoon hikes or swims or study or just lay in front of fan for a few minutes)
2:00 it was either hike or swim on Mon and Wed. and the other days was class for us adults and usually a field trip for the kids. Yes the kids had more fun than we did. :)
4:00 it was “free time”! If the internet was up we could check email or go to the little store for something cold to drink or try to fold laundry or study or watch the guys play volleyball.
