Higher Ground

November 18, 2014

Our time of initial orientation to the national language and culture of PNG is wrapping up, and we are preparing to move to a higher elevation for a few weeks. I for one will thoroughly enjoy some chilly nights and chilly mornings – sweater? Blanket? A hot beverage in the morning because I’m actually cold? […]

Updated Relationship Status

October 9, 2014

Noe-Lisa Martinez went from “Dating” to “Single”. Yes, go ahead and smile. 🙂 We have been talking and thinking and praying with two other families about potentially partnering in a tribal church planting work here in PNG for the last year (or longer). As Noe puts it so well, it’s like we were “dating” each […]

Language learning Well, we have been in PNG for nearly 2 months now, and in just a couple days we will have our first language check! There is a CLA (Culture & Language Acquisition) consultant who happens to be in town this week, and he has offered to do our language checks/evaluations. So we will […]

It means “We are learning Tok Pisin (Pidgin, the national language of PNG)!” Today was August 24th. That marks one month since we landed in PNG. Can you believe that?!

Joy To The World

August 13, 2014

Sunrise, taken next to our house. In the early hours of the morning, I hear these particular birds ‘singing’ repeatedly the first four notes of the tune “Joy To The World.” It’s very clear, always in perfect rhythm, and pretty! (Ok yes, granted, after the 200th chirp I most definitely listened more intently, and perhaps […]

4 Days Until Take-off!

July 17, 2014

Our crate is packed! As soon as we know what region we will be serving in long-term, we will call our family in Seattle to get the crate to the port of Seattle to be shipped to PNG. (We’re praising God that we are so blessed to ship it directly out of Seattle! How convenient […]

8 Days!

July 13, 2014

VERY surreal to say that we are leaving for PNG in just 8 days. (!) Packing for our tribal house. (Ziplocs!) Aiming to make wise decisions. In this photo, items have been inventoried. Next step is to pack them inside of each other, as condensed as possible! 🙂 Then we will label the inventoried containers […]
