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

We haven't been the only missionaries busy learning heart language. We are blessed to work with others who have been through the same marathon as us to learn to speak a minority language to a high standard.
In a country as linguistically diverse as Papua New Guinea, what even is heart language though? This video from NTM PNG takes a look at the question.
I'm well aware of the trap of needing to say "I've been busy" to justify our living off the charity of others. I try to avoid that mindset, though, as being busy doesn't necessarily mean being effective. Busyness can (but doesn't have to, of course) lead to a lack of focus, a false sense of progress, and a ministry defined by what we do for God rather than what he does through us.
