My Early Surprise Birthday Party

Jacob recruited, Nate, to help him make a delicious and healthy chocolate cake for my birthday. We were going to be in Wewak for my birthday so they decided to have a little party with a cake before we went. It was so fun and so yummy!

The kids put the frosting on.

And they enjoyed licking the spatula at the end. :)

Visit to Kiso's place

Kiso, works at the guesthouse as our driver. He picks people up from the airport and drops them off!

Poppie in PNG!

The long awaited arrival of Poppie... he is in PNG!!

And the next day he was at work fixing our leaks.

New shirts from Nannie and Poppie!

Dad's first and last sugar fruit. But it really was yummy!!

Enjoying the Guesthouse Ministry

 We hosted the American consulate at the guesthouse recently. He came to help many missionaries with American government questions, especially renewing passports.

We also hosted a retirement party recently for a citizen employee.

Bread delivery for the guesthouse. :)

Visiting Friends!

We lived next door to Silas and Linda in Wewak and their family. And now they are here in Goroka for break! So fun to have a reunion and play! Their family works in Kaje planting a church!

New Project

This is a dorm that is no longer needed for dorm life. Jacob's dad will be coming in 1 month to help the centre work on various projects around the campus. The first project will be converting the dorm style house into 3 apartments! We are excited for his arrival! Jacob will get to help with this project as well in the mornings!

Naomi's Days at the Guesthouse

While Jonathan is in school Naomi gets to hang out with us and help out in the guesthouse. sometimes she gets to ride on the four wheeler to get groceries or run errands for the guesthouse with dad.
