Since we’re all settled in now we thought, why not go for a tour of our house?
Investigating dialects
Our orthography survey project seems to have run out of steam. We were asking literate Kovol speakers to answer a multiple-choice survey to indicate their preferences for spelling and symbol choices where we have multiple options. Ideally, we'd have 50 or so returns, but the 12 we have will need to make do as the momentum for finding people to fill it out has petered out. Those 12 were mostly group efforts though, so I guess more people were involved!

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
