This summer we enjoyed friends from down under and we went back over the pond to see our kids in the States.
Phil and Fiona Emery are good friends from Australia. We worked with them for many years in PNG. They were on their way to the USA for meetings so stretched their airmiles to visit us. We enjoyed showing them round and catching up on old times.
Then it was off to the States to see our kids. We had just over two weeks and enjoyed every minute with them and the grandkids. We also enjoyed renewing fellowship with our co-workers at NTBI Jackson.
Martha has now completely finished her training with NTM and is embarking on a time of partnership development. She went to the States to visit family and friends and while she was there she was asked to consider a position on staff at NTBI Jackson. She has agreed and will be starting there around springtime next year.
Deborah has started her new job as Learning Mentor and is finding it very challenging working with young girls to improve their study skills so they can resit exams. Still, she is glad to be working.
Isaac will be finishing college at the end of the year and hopes to stay on in the States for a year. He would like work experience, be near his girlfriend, Camille and work on applications for medical school. He will need a visa, a job, accommodation and a car so we would appreciate your prayers for him.
Lisa’s mum is doing well physically although she is suffering from dementia and doesn’t recognize any of the family any more. Although so confused, she seems happy and content which is a great comfort to Lisa and her sister, Hilary.
