What is life like for us here in PNG?\u00a0 We’re glad you asked!!<\/p>\n

These first few days and probably the next week or so we are spending most of our time getting settled into our house.\u00a0 When we arrived, our house was furnished with things here from the center that are available for new families.\u00a0 Just yesterday we finished bringing over our things that we shipped many months ago in the container.\u00a0 They had been stored in the shop and are now in a storage room under our house.\u00a0 Slowly but surely we are going through the trunks and putting things where they belong.\u00a0 As we get out our own things, we will return the borrowed items that were here in the house.<\/p>\n

However, many of the things that we shipped are for the next few years so those items need to be sorted out and packed back up again – tools, extra clothes, bigger clothes for the boys…<\/p>\n

Along with getting our house in order, we have taken several trips into town for groceries and supplies.\u00a0 Town is about 25-30 minutes away.\u00a0 Each evening we have had dinner with a different missionary family here on the center.\u00a0 It has been a great time of getting to know our new friends and co-workers.<\/p>\n

The boys are doing great.\u00a0 There is tons of room for them to play and explore.\u00a0 There are interesting bugs and large toads to catch.\u00a0 There are also plenty of mosquitos and other biting insects, however we have been told that the malaria mosquitos only come out after dusk.\u00a0 Most days are sunny, hot and humid, but there is often a nice breeze blowing that makes it seem cooler. We are all sleeping well and haven’t really had any jet lag issues.<\/p>\n

As time goes on we plan to share more detailed descriptions of different areas of our life here.\u00a0 So, stay tuned!!\u00a0 (In this, and hopefully other posts, you should be able to click on the pictures to make them bigger.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
