PNG Update from a Busy Mom


Hi!

Life has been packed full. With me at the school from 8:15 to 3:15 most days in Grade 1, and then keeping up with the girls’ schedules, each day is full of activity. But a definitely positive is that I do get more adult conversation now that I am in the classroom.

I was able to attend a weekend Women’s Retreat a couple weeks ago. We had lots of fun and learned lots of new things. The Lord really spoke to me in those sessions and I am always amazed of how God works. Next weekend I was invited to go to a Professional Workers conference, or something like that. It is for the teachers on both campuses so I feel honored to be asked as I am not technically a “teacher”. 

Meliah was in softball this term and WOW she has come a long way from last year.

A Letter Home

My mom hadn't heard from us in a while so I sent her an update of what's been happening in our family for the past couple months. When I got to the end I figured I should post it on the blog for you all as well! Thanks Mom!

Read on to hear a bit about our trip trip to Mt. Wilhelm.

Here we get a brief rest from the wind and cold as we head towards the summit of Mt. Wilhelm.

Hey Mom,

Things are going well. Ruth’s bruised leg is old news now-a-days. Meliah and her team just finished their softball season with a tournament near Goroka. Their team dominated and won all their games! She had a great time. Thankfully, it was a dry but overcast day. So not too much sun to give people sunburns.
