New rooms & New bed!

 

Naomi has a very small bedroom so a loft bed gives her room to play.

Jacob had lots of fun designing and building the bed.

This was the bedroom before, not a lot of space.

Testing out the design before finishing and installing it.

Jonathan moved his room around too so he could have more room to play in it.

Recess Fun

 

Sometimes I go down to see the kids at 10:10 am when they have recess.  Naomi is always happy to see me. Jonathan doesn't notice me.😊

Jonathan playing dodgeball with lots of the elementary kids.

Conference Prep begins...

 

Jacob has worked many times on our guesthouse oven. And his hard work has paid off. It is working perfectly now!!

Making lasagna for Central Area Conference - 130 people, We froze lasagna and bread for later.

I made a "little" sauce for the lasagna 😊

This is the same pot that I used to use almost every day at the Interface kitchen!

Fiona made a lot of French sticks for future garlic bread

Cows and Fall?

 

This almost looks like fall back home in North America. 😊And school is starting!

Just outside the NTM Centre fence there is a ranch where they raise cows for beef. It is very entertaining for our guests to watch the cows. A big hit for the kids especially! 

New Countertop!

 The sink is being measured for the new countertop. Exciting!

A new invention, a metal countertop, made by Jacob Devine - my inventive husband!

Country Day Celebration

 

There are many missionaries here on our centre. Lots of Americans but many other countries represented as well. So instead of celebrating Independence day on July 4th we celebrate all countries represented with Country Day. Everyone wears something to show their country. And we drew flags and sang many different national anthems. We also played a lot of different games through out the day too.

We were in a group with other friends on an Amazing Race game. Very fun!

We are thankful for this table that Jacob was able to build for us when we were in Wewak. And for the benches that Nate gave us after moving to POM. They match well! And now Jacob doesn't need to build benches or chairs.
