What We've Been Up To...

The blog’s been quiet recently. I used to have a grand plan of posting twice a week about our life in PNG. Now I feel like I’m lucky to post once a month! I want to get better because there are so many interesting things to share with y’all... unique experiences, things we’re learning, prayer needs, pictures. Hopefully I can get a bit more consistent!

Anyways, the past few weeks haven’t felt very “blog-worthy”, but they have been busy!

People ask us what our days look like on furlough. I’m sure it seems like we’re on a 8-9 month vacation since Clint isn’t working a steady job. :) But, we’re actually staying pretty busy. We don’t have a clear daily schedule. But it gives us lots of time to get together with family and friends in the area. We haven’t seen many of our friends for 2 years... some even longer than that! It’s been so encouraging spending time with them and catching up on life.

Plus, our flexible schedule gives us time to spend together as a family resting a bit and doing fun things that we haven't had a chance to do for the past few years. Things like eating at restaurants, playing at playgrounds, and going on date nights.

We're also excited that we get the chance to share a lot about what God's doing in Wabuku! We're getting excited for the day when we can head back and resume language and culture study, probably sometime this spring.

But for now, we'll just enjoy the Walmart shopping excursions, buckets of ice cream, swing sets, paved roads, fast internet, nice hiking trails, friendly fellowship, and fall colors in America. :)
