We are excited and thankful to be home for this period of time before we leave for Papua New Guinea.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bart has been keeping busy&nbsp;cleaning the church\/school building of our home church.&nbsp;&nbsp; After going to classes together for the past 4 1\/2 years and&nbsp;being together as a family for just about every meal, this schedule is a little different.&nbsp; But we&#8217;re figuring things out and getting adjusted to our new life.<\/p>\n<p>The boys are just getting over another bout of sickness.&nbsp; They love being on the farm but, with the extremely cold temperatures lately, their time outside has been limited.&nbsp; Titus is becoming more eloquent in his speaking.&nbsp; It is so fun to hear him express what he is thinking.&nbsp; Luke is becoming a better reader all the time.&nbsp; <!--StartImportThumbnail--><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bart-allen\/files\/2008\/01\/2324_31778.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-104\" style=\"float:left;

For the past several years we have only been home during the summer, which of course is a busy time for everyone.&nbsp; Now that we are here for a somewhat indefinite time, we are looking forward to being more involved in people&#8217;s lives.&nbsp; Bart meets weekly with the Pastor and several other men in the church.&nbsp; Emily is involved in a ladies small group&nbsp;Bible study and&nbsp;the boys are&nbsp;having fun in&nbsp;Cubbies.&nbsp; We are also enjoying having people over as well as spending time in others&#8217;
