Relaxing time...

 We even had a chance to go to a hotel for lunch and a swim. And they had some fun birds!

 

 I think he has learned how to relax. :)

The newly renovated Madang Centre Kitchen

 Finishing the final touches on the new kitchen, which doubled in size from last year! It was so good to see all the Interface kitchen equipment being used once again and in good working order!

 Jonathan loved to come visit and see what work was being done!

 Thank you to Mike Peachey who made all the cabinets!! Beautiful!!

 Putting up the shelving in the new walk-in cooler!!

 The Madang kitchen, from the outside... a mess waiting to go into the kitchen to be organized.

 I had 7 ladies help me bring all the dishes, etc back to the kitchen and wash everything!

 Then I had to figure out where to put everything!

 It was a bit overwhelming at first, but we slowly made progress!

 And then Jacob brought a few boxes of things that were ordered for the kitchen. It was fun to open new kitchen stuff! :)

 Jonathan was enthralled with the new mop bucket. :)

Working and Sweating

Fixing and setting up the beds for the Interface students

 Finishing the porch on the house where more students will stay.

Putting on the siding of the building, where the student girls will live.

And soaked in sweat in the process.

Jacob's mom arrives!!

 Jonathan played on the trampoline every day and couldn't wait to show Nannie, Jacob's mom!

 

 Nannie's plane arriving!!

 Waiting patiently for her to get off the plane.

 She is here!

 Puzzle fun with Nannie and Dad!

Heading to Madang....

 Jonathan was excited to get to fly on a big airplane again... we flew to Madang for three weeks, at the end of May to help set up the kitchen and centre for the Interface program. There were 26 students arriving plus staff and hospitality. We were cooking for 60 people!

 Jonathan was excited about the new playground.

 And the trampoline!

Goodbyes

 We got Jonathan out of bed at 7am to say goodbye to our neighbors who are heading home for their year of  home assignment. We will miss having them around...

 Jonathan wasn't sure what was happening...

We had to say goodbye to two families so far, and one more family will be leaving us next week.  Very sad.

Random life in Wewak...

 A Cinco de Mayo celebration... potluck for all with a pinata for the kids! Everyone had a great time!

 Trying on dad's Canadian hat while playing with Cat in the Hat. :)

 Jonathan enjoyed his chocolate chip cookie!

 Playing with our new camera, this is the 'magic' setting. :)

 Hanging out on our new rug... a great place to play!

 We have really enjoyed having Fred and Carissa here in Wewak. They are here serving with Friends in Action for two months. We've had a great time chatting and playing games! Fred helped out at Interface for a few months about 5 years ago!

 Time for the bedtime stories. :)
