It\u2019s that time again\u2026transition time. Always a lovely time.<\/p>\n

Last week, our family and the Hambrices took an airplane to G oroka, which is where the main NTM location is. We wanted to talk face to face with all of the leaders before most of them go on a year home assignment. Now G oroka is in the highlands, so that means the weather is wayyyyy different! I didn\u2019t break a sweat the entire time. We went to bed and woke up cold! The place had a great impression on us! Our kids LOVED it! They played outside and didn\u2019t complain once of being too hot. We told them that we will be moving here in about a month, and they were thrilled. (I\u2019ll update later on our move!)<\/p>\n

Then it happened\u2026we came back to M adang. It was hotter than ever. Our kids loved G oroka, and I think were confused why we were back. Transitions. Part of me thinks, \u201cwhy did I tell Olivia that we were moving?!\u201d But it\u2019s good to prepare her\u2026right? This week, she has been very emotional. Crying at the drop of a hat. Acting like a baby. Sophie has been getting out of her bed every night (nana, papa, mimi, big papa\u2026you know what that\u2019s like!) Then I thought…<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like this EVERY time that we transition. And you know that our family does that a lot! So please pray for our family\u2026especially our kids, and our patience to love them during this next couple transitions. The first of June, we will be flying to a tribe to spend a month finishing up learning tok pidgin. We will also be learning from missionaries who have already planted a church! We are really excited for this opportunity! In July, we will move to G oroka to wait for our co-workers to finish up, start buying stuff for our house, varnishing all the wood, and surveying the tribe we are interested in (again, an update coming soon!!!)<\/p>\n

As you can see, we will be saying goodbye to friends here, saying hello to the tribe, then saying goodbye to the tribe\u2026then saying hello to our new home in G oroka\u2026then saying goodbye when we move to our tribe\u2026you get the point! Please pray! I look forward to updating you VERY SOON on our meeting with leadership and the direction we are moving!!!<\/p>\n
