\"SONY<\/a>After a wonderful time with family over the holidays, we moved into our apartment in St. Bonifacius.\u00a0 Thanks to the people of Freshwater Church for supplying so much of what we needed to set up camp here.\u00a0 We have everything we need, and we\u2019re unpacked and settling in.\u00a0 So, we will be calling this place home for this whole year.\u00a0 However, if you ask our children where home is, they will not hesitate to say Pal, PNG.\u00a0 If you ask Maggie and I. . . we might just stare at you blankly as we wonder ourselves.\u00a0 Our current abode is only temporary.\u00a0 Our house in Pal is definitely ours (designed and built by us), but is Pal home?\u00a0 There was definitely a bit of the sense of \u2018coming home\u2019 for Maggie and I as we departed PNG and returned to the states last month, but lacking our own home here in our home country certainly weakens the home feeling.\u00a0 And so I am reminded again that our time on this earth, wherever that may be, is only temporary.\u00a0 Our true home is with our Lord in Heaven.\u00a0 So whether we are home in America, or in our home in PNG, or wherever else God might take us, we need to hang on to the promise of a true and permanent home in eternity.<\/p>\n

For our year here, we will be trying to reconnect with everyone who has been part of the team to share about what God is doing in Papua New Guinea.\u00a0 We will be traveling some and speaking and sharing lots, and in the times between we will press on with the translation of God\u2019s Word into the Pal language.\u00a0 We are looking forward to seeing old friends and making new, enjoying some fun American activities with our children, spending quality time with our families, sharing about what God has done and is doing among the Pal people for His glory, and refreshing and recharging for our next term.\u00a0 Peace.<\/p>\n
