Since we’re all settled in now we thought, why not go for a tour of our house?

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

Getting ready for Bible translation

I started the week with a translation kick-off. I had a phone call with a translation consultant here in PNG who talked me through the procedure, the available tools and a suggested order to translate. With the kick-off done, I'm ready to start translation. At some point, I'll get to attend a team translation workshop where my teammates and I along with some Kovol helpers are led through the process and use the workshop to draft a chunk of scripture under supervision. One of these isn't scheduled just yet, so after my kick-off, I'm ready to have a go.

Language study is finished for Steve

What a nerve-wracking few days! 8 months ago we had a language speaking test where I scored level 8/9 leaving only a single level to go. Would 8 months of work be enough to get over the final hurdle? I had finished all of the paperwork required, but had my speaking level also improved?

Stitching up a wound

Just as we finished Sunday lunch we got a knock at the door. On Sundays, we get together for a little church service as a family, we go down to the stream and have a paddle and we come back for a sit-on-the-floor finger food lunch. That's a settled routine for us, and just as it finished there was a knock at the door. Our friend informed us that someone had been cut and we needed to come and see it.
