Visit with Bena friends

I've been down this road a thousand times, just not so much in the last 11 years. A familiar sight is now changing with trenches on the side to wash away the plethoric amount of water when it rains. I even hear that after these are finished, they will put cement on the road to pave it!



 


 
Coming up on the old Interface campus.

Now transformed into a Teachers College. We went to visit because we were invited to be a part of a SingSing (celebration) as the member of parliament was due to arrive to give the school its registration papers. After 7 years of teaching students, everyone is excited for them to finally get their papers. And now many many students can graduate officially!


 
They built a grand stand to welcome the member of parliament. 

Jacob and I lived on the left side of this duplex when we first got married.


This used to be the workshop. Now it is turned into classrooms. But it is the same in so many ways. 

This is the cabin where my roommate Julie and I lived when I first came to PNG many years ago.

The old classroom building.









We enjoyed taking our friends and neighbors around to see the campus... this is in front of the dining hall.





Efeke and Fred... Efeke worked in the kitchen with me. Fred was my produce buyer and would go to town to help me buy all I needed to cook for the students/conference.

Morome - always a fun guy in the village





Janet - one of the first believers

Esta, also worked at Interface

Kesi, on the left, used to work in the kitchen with me.

Suzanne also worked in the kitchen.

Kotile worked security for our campus.

A Cassowary 



The girls found some puppies sleeping.

They are hard at work building the drainage for the road


I will never get tired of the views here!

Family Pizza Night



We spontaneously decided to have a pizza and movie night on a Tues when we had no guests and everyone was done with their homework!

Naomi thought it was so special, she dressed up in a beautiful Christmas dress. :)
