The joys outweighed the trials and we really did enjoy our time in the tribe. The first thing that you can’t help but notice about the place is the beauty of God’s creation. Towering mountains and deep valleys fill up the landscape around the area and I was constantly snapping pictures.
The next great thing was Andrew and Cathy Goud. They are working in this tribe and have been for many years. They were a blessing to us and we learned a lot from them.
The tribal people were a blessing to us too. They brought us food from their gardens all the time. They helped us get firewood, watched our kids, and helped us practice Tok Pisin. They took us to their gardens, on hikes to waterfalls or up mountains, and held Maggie’s hand when the trail was slippery.
