    Happy 9th Birthday Jonathan!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Spending time with supporters and family, sharing about Papua New Guinea, teaching homeschool and supply buying for PNG pretty much sums up our last months. Thank you all for being a part of our ministry by praying and giving! Things are falling into place as we look to God for the timing of heading back to Papua New Guinea. Jacob has returned from Canada! Naomi\u2019s surgery is scheduled for March 7th<\/sup>. And we have just booked plane tickets from Boston to Port Morseby, Papua New Guinea for March 24!! We are excited to be heading back to our home in Papua New Guinea! The kids are wearing their summer hats, shorts and flip flops in their excitement. \ud83d\ude0a Only in the house of course. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Please, thank God with us for all He had done! We are continuing to be reminded of how we just need to trust that God has a plan in what we seem to think is chaos. God has each day planned for exactly what will bring Him glory through us. So there is no need for us to worry about how the details will work out. Thank you for your continued prayers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Thank you all for your continued prayers! We continue to be amazed at how God takes care of us and directs us through circumstances. We watch and see how the plans we thought God had for us turn into new plans that God already knew will be better for us. We are so thankful for His love for His children and are often reminded of how much He desires to do what is best for every one of his children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
