We have returned from 5 weeks living in a remote bush location. Our time in the tribe was great and we really enjoyed getting to know the missionary family in there and the people. The area was beautiful and quite a bit cooler than Madang. We enjoyed the cool temps but were ready for some warm weather again. While in there we got a glimpse of life as a tribal missionary and continued to work on becoming fluent speakers of Pidgin. Hopefully our next language check will be our last and we can relax and just enjoy getting to know the PNG people. We are currently in Lapilo visiting the kids, having some meetings and attending a couple transitions seminars. Friday the 25th we will return to Madang to begin transitioning into our ministry positions for the next year. Matt will be working in TRC, which is the print shop, and Christine will be taking care of housing and guest house. We are excited to move out of orientation and into roles that allow us to serve others.
Matthew is graduating in June and has decided to return to the US to start working and saving for Bible school and future pilot training. We are praying about how all of this is going to come together. We would like for all of us to fly back together for 2 months and get Matthew settled back in but aren’t sure how all the finances will work out. We thought we would have another year to save for the airline tickets. Please be praying with us about this.
Here we are in the mountains of PNG during bush orientation.
Here is one of Matthew’s senior pictures.
Again we want to thank all of you who have partnered with us and made it possible for us to be here in PNG.
