Back on the Island

November 8, 2011

We’ve been back in country for over two weeks now and are just now making the time to sit down and write. Its been a bit of a whirlwind, but this seems to be the pace of the life of a missionary. Our travel to PNG was mostly uneventful, although we did run into some […]

This Friday, January 1st, we are kicking off the new year by setting sail on our first ever month long partnership development road trip! Before I tell you about our road trip, just a recap of the last month: Beth & I have been incredibly busy ever since Thanksgiving.
