In just about a week we will be boarding the first of four planes and heading back to the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Before we head out we wanted to share a few praises and prayer requests:
Praises:
- Several folks have contributed towards the cost of our plane tickets!
- Earlier in April we had a wonderful visit to NTM Aviation’s home office in McNeal, Arizona.
- Paul ended up needing minor knee surgery. We were able to get it taken care of in record time. He is still a bit sore but improving greatly!
- Phoebe is growing right before our eyes and enjoying the world of “solid” foods. To get ready for her new home, we first introduced her to sweet potatoes – a staple food in PNG. She LOVES them. (Phoebe kaikai kaukau).
Prayer Request:
- While Phoebe has flown several times already, these will be her first international flights including a 16+ hour flight across the Pacific.
- Pray for smooth connections and on time arrivals…especially in Port Moresby (the capital and our port of entry into PNG).
- Pray for us as we get settled back into life in PNG and deal with jet lag. (We feel like we just got Phoebe’s days and nights straightened out. Here we go again!)
- Pray for family and friends who we have been/will be saying good-bye to…especially grandparents and aunts.
- After taking some time to help Andrea set up our home, Paul will return to work at the hangar. They are extremely shorthanded right now and it will only get worse as several of the guys will be leaving for home assignment (furlough).
