Slop—slop—slop.
“Oh no!” I had gone to meet some neighbors in my new community and just lost both of my shoes in the mud! Nope, this definitely isn’t the US anymore…how often do you have to hunt for your shoes after you’ve already started walking to your neighbors?
This past week has been busy with unpacking, putting things away, shopping for essentials, visiting in the community, and my first language learning session! While I don’t understand most of what is being said, I have enjoyed sitting down with people, listening to them talk, and eating lots of sweet potatoes cooked lots of ways. For the next few months, I’ll be spending my days developing relationships with people in the community here and learning from them how to speak Melanesian Pidgin–the trade language of Papua New Guinea. Please be praying for good relationships and opportunities for language learning.
It’s not the US anymore, but it’s good to be home.
Hello Promise,
You don’t know me, but I’m part of the body at Cornerstone Fellowship Bible Church.
Will be interested to read of your adventures. Such a great idea to blog about how things are going for you in Papua New Guinea. I’ve signed up for your email updates.
I will be praying for you.
Blessings,
Terrie
