We finally made it to our new home in Madang. It is really beautiful here and there are so many birds singing all day. God has really blessed us, living among palm trees, bananas and pineapples. Who would have thought that God would consider us worthy to be His voice to a lost and dying people then give us the opportunity to live in a tropical paradise. All that said there are some things here that will take some getting used to. We don’t have air conditioning and it is hot and humid, meat is very expensive, we can’t communicate with the people yet, and of course we don’t get to see the kids for long periods. But we know this is the very best for our family cause it is where God wants us. Thank you all for your prayers on behalf of our family and for your financial sacrifices that make it possible for us to serve God here in PNG.
