Most of you know that I love to shop! \u00a0You can shop in PNG! \u00a0We’ve been here for 2 weeks now and the honeymoon is over. \u00a0Haha, Mandy and I say that we don’t really think we even had a PNG honeymoon, but whatever it was, the reality has sunk in. \u00a0We’ve realized that we are very far away, and will be for a long time. \u00a0The reality is hard to take in. \u00a0And we are learning the language, but it’s hard to set aside a lot of time to do this. \u00a0I love watching movies, and getting pedicures, and hanging out with family, and shopping. \u00a0Most days I am fine with the way things are here…but other days, it is harder to take in.<\/p>\n
So…I am now refreshed! \u00a0(let me explain that I am filled everyday by the Lord), but I got to go shopping yesterday! \u00a0My stress level came to a low when I was finished! \u00a0The ladies in the training went out 2nd hand shopping. \u00a0It’s like a goodwill, only worse…but cheaper! \u00a0I was able to find something for the girls, Graham, and BJ! \u00a0It’s so fun coming home with surprises, and not spending anything on them! \u00a0But just being out was so fun! \u00a0I needed that! \u00a0When I got home, the stress level continued to drop! \u00a0My amazing husband had cooked homeade pizza (yummy!) \u00a0and then we watched a movie!<\/p>\n
The work here is pretty hard, so it’s nice noticing when you need a break and actually giving yourself a break! \u00a0We are only beginners at this, but I’m glad we’re figuring this out early on! \u00a0Thanks for praying for us! \u00a0We always need it! \u00a0We’re doing really well and our kids are growing up quickly. \u00a0We miss all of you, but we’re so thankful to be doing this along side with you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
