Farewell, friends!

The Alkemas have come and gone! We enjoyed their visit very much. As friends, it was amazing to hang out and enjoy many laughs together. As potential future co-workers, it was a blessing to, along with Andrew and Natalie, share our ministry with them. The end of their first day in Papua New Guinea--God's splendour displayed as the sun sets.

They sat in on a lecture Ian gave at the Bible College.

Hendrik and Ian at a look-out near the Bible College. They stood at the precipice of a cliff with a glorious waterfall and river in the valley.

Introducing themselves after church here in Lae. Even with the language barrier, they had us all laughing!

Making friends...

Some of the women from church prepare some traditional PNG kaikai (food) for us to enjoy.

The ladies!

It's always hard to say goodbye, but of course, that was inevitable! If their travels went as planned, they are hopefully already in Vancouver, after enduring many hours in the air! We know they will be especially excited to reunite with Avery and George soon!

We continue to commend them to the Lord as they seek out His will for their lives.
