Since we’re all settled in now we thought, why not go for a tour of our house?
Helping with school
Usually, when we come out to Goroka it's break time, and so Oscar has been having a harder time being motivated for school. Gerdine's been feeling a bit stretched so I've stepped in to help out with a day of homeschooling here and there. Friday was our first day and topics of schooling included evergreen and deciduous trees. I'm not very good at identifying familiar English trees, never mind Papua New Guinea trees but we think we identified some evergreen and deciduous trees around Sobega. Although come to think of it what happens to deciduous trees when it's summer all year round? Are the broad-leaved trees that have waxy leaves evergreen or deciduous? We'll just move on quickly, I'm not sure! :D

I am SO glad that you have a twin tub washing machine. We had a Hitachi twin tub which lasted half of out time in PNG and then we got another Hitachi for the second half of our time. In 2012 Hitachi stopped making twin tubs in Australia. We were SO disappointed because we had been recommending them to all the new missionaries.
What brand is yours?
I am glad that you have now finished setting up your home.
Loving greetings to the three of you,
Lynette
