Home Again, Home Again

We're home again! At least temporarily. :) We've done a lot of moving in the past few months, so it's really nice to be able to settle in one place for a while.

Up until March, we were mostly located on the New Tribes Mission base where we initially did our 4-month-long orientation program. We were helping run the base while the missionaries who normally do that were on furlough.

Now, we’ve transitioned to another NTM base in a town called Wewak (where we came for conference in March), located on the north-eastern coast of Papua New Guinea. This base serves as the support center for all the NTM missionaries located in tribes in the northern part of PNG. We've been here for over three weeks now, and we're loving it!

The base store that supplies tribal missionaries. We can buy stuff here too or in town if we prefer

We have our own little 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment with an unbeatable ocean view and an awesome, long covered porch where Kyler can play. And since we live at one end of a four-apartment building, we get to live right next door to our teammates, Jason and Laken, which is pretty much amazing!

We’ll be here until the end of June when we start our trek back to the States for the baby. During the next few weeks, we’ll be spending our time:

• Settling in to our new home
• Getting oriented to the base here and how it operates
• Getting to know the missionaries who live on base
• Helping with a few jobs on base
• Spending time with our teammates talking through our strategy for working in Wabuku

So thankful to be here and to be a part of such an awesome team of missionaries working here in this part of PNG!
