I’ve been a bit gunshy since my last post. I shared all about my trip into the bush to help put on a little preventative clinic for a village; since most of you who read here regularly know I work in the medical clinic this shouldn’t surprise you. However, the rest of the world is […]

tribal trip

June 9, 2016

Last week I mentioned that I was heading into a tribal location to help our medical staff run a vaccine clinic, but due to some inclement weather on both ends, it was delayed until the next day. Since we knew that the weather in this location can get real bad real fast, we opted for […]

the quest for kodiaks

May 25, 2016

Three years ago, New Tribes Mission Aviation’s quest for a Kodiak for Papua New Guinea began. It was one based on the need to replace our older, less efficient 206 program with the newer, more efficient (and let’s face it, much cooler) aircraft, the Quest Kodiak. This is an airplane designed by bush pilots with […]

overdue america blog

May 10, 2016

This blog has been a long time coming… You know by now that I process life through words (and coffee!), but for some reason or another, sometimes the words aren’t there. Blogging became a burden, so I decided to take a break. I think I can officially declare this the end of that blogging break. […]

kingdom cool tools

February 23, 2016

A couple of days ago, I shared a post on Facebook and Instagram talking about a recent “funk” I was in and am now out of (praise Jesus!). I also shared that I’m going to America in March with Josh when he goes for his training!! This is such an answer to our prayers, and […]

twin kodiaks

January 16, 2016

It’s been a whirlwind of routine (is that a thing?) since we finished with Christmas and started back to work. But the exciting stuff is happening at the hangar! Two of our pilots have left for their Kodiak training in Spokane, Washington (at Spokane Turbine Center). When they return in a few weeks, they’ll begin […]

conflicting christmas

December 30, 2015

It seems that my life has been and will continue to be marked by constantly conflicting emotions. I knew that having holidays overseas would be hard; and I knew that the first one would be the hardest. I also knew that they would be some of the most beautiful if I let them. I dove […]

a png thanksgiving

December 3, 2015

Surprising as this might be to some people, Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday… and it’s not celebrated anywhere else in the world. In Papua New Guinea, it’s just a normal Thursday. I simultaneously really enjoyed and had a hard time this year. Those traditions that you grew up with, created, or want to start […]

ready for flight

November 24, 2015

So last week I asked you to pray about the upcoming audit on the flight program here in PNG; the one that would determine if and when the Kodiak could start flying and serving the missionaries and people of Papua New Guinea. We can now praise the Lord together that it is now finished! The […]

growth

November 17, 2015

It feels like I am so behind on my blogging. I can’t write fast enough to keep up with the many goings on of life in PNG. I have completed my training as the medical clinic receptionist, and am now checked off to work by myself. I ask the nurses and doctors a lot of […]
