Sports Day fun at the Primary Campus

Kiery celebrated her 11th birthday with a slumber birthday party with 7 girls from her class.  Bon fire was made complete with smores and scary stories.

Chad just hanging around.  He and Anna have started training for a caving trip.

The Secondary Campus puts on a Carnival every year.  This years theme was "Once  Upon A Carnival" 

The carnival raises money for a specific cause in our general area.  This helps villages located close to us and it is fun for the community.

A few weeks ago the pony club had a competition of sorts and Anna received a Blue and Red Ribbon. 

Anna loves being with her horse "Kahlia"




Kiery and her class took a field trip to learn first hand about sediments and erosion.

Burning semester 1 papers is a great past time for the High School students.

Since arriving back in PNG things have been a whirlwind.  Some of the things that have gone on are;

Experience a drought-no rain for about 4 months,
Now having full water tank- Praising the Lord,

 Our car in and out of the shop a few times-Thankful for transportation.

The adjustments to having a family member on the other side of the world-Thankful for prayers for all,

Thankful for health for all of us,

Prayer request:

Spending quality time together as a couple and as a family.
