Our Daily Schedule

February 17, 2011

It’s about 8:00am and the scorching tropical sun is lighting up the banana tree’s I can see out our window. The village is still pretty quite right now and the only noise I can here is the annoying hum of our generator as it powers our fridge, charges our laptops and allows me to enjoy […]

Po

February 17, 2011

When Tom first got here to Tigak, one of the first people he met was a very special little boy named Po. When you meet Po he runs up to you and enthusiastically offers his hand with a big smile. When you shake his hand he makes a series of loud sounds that sound like […]

The Island

January 21, 2011

Before I Go

January 14, 2011

The time has come-I can hardly believe it. Tomorrow I, along with our friend Aimee and my sweet little boy will be once again climbing onto an airplane. (It’s amazing to think that EXACTLY 5 months ago we arrived in PNG!) When we land at our destination I will be overjoyed to see Tom again […]

A New Year!

It’s a New Year! A new year for new challenges, new opportunities, and new blessings! We have had a really good break from school and we praise the Lord for the wonderful family time we’ve had with Charity and BJ here! It has been good to catch up on their lives and we’ve made some […]
