Security is not Jacob's favorite job here in Wewak, but someone needs to do it. :) Every night we have two to three security guards walking around our centres to keep watch over us. Of course I know that God our ultimate security protector.
The security guards check in, make their rounds around the fence and the properties and give Jacob a report. Then Jacob just needs to have the radio on all night to monitor, in case something happens. Then in the morning the guards give their final report, after rounding through the night. Usually all is well and nothing ever happens.
Well one night at the end of April, something did happen. A few men broke into our centre and into our house and our neighbors house. They broke in through this window on our porch. It was a scary situation. But God protected us all. They got away with some of our things, but they were chased off by the security guard and dogs very quickly! And a security company and police arrived quickly as well! They did manage to get away with a few of our things: Jacob's laptop, two external hard drives, video camera, camera and internet modem stick as well as my laptop's power cord. Fortunately they were interrupted and left my computer behind so they could run and get away, so thankful for that!
So for two weeks I looked high and low for a cord that would fit into this hole on my laptop.
Some missionaries had a spare Lenova cord but the circle was too small to fit into my computer. So we ordered one off the internet and a friend brought it over in his suitcase a couple weeks ago. But that didn't work either, it was a rectangular shape!! So we broke down and bought a expensive universal cord in town, but it was cheaper then sending another cord DHL!! So happy to have my computer up and running again!!!
To recover from our break in, we decided we needed time to rest and relax at the pool. Jonathan loves the pool!!
We were also so thankful for a package that arrived from our good friend Julie, just a few days after the robbery! Jonathan loves his float plane and fire engine. :)
Enjoying the goldfish that we got in the package from Julie, while watching Mickey Mouse. :)
We were also very thankful for our neighbors who gave us a camera that they no longer needed!!
This camera is waterproof and shock proof so we thought Jonathan might enjoy using it once in a while... here is his first picture. :)
Eventually he got it right. :)
We are very thankful that all of us are alright and the men only took our things. And we have been amazed at how God is providing for us so that we can replace our stolen items. We know that he will continue to provide so that we can replace everything!
