Adventures with Dad and Mom W Part 2

Just quickly posting a few photos right before we leave for Ukarumpa, the Wycliffe Bible Translators base for PNG. The car is packed and everyone is ready, so I better make this quick.

Caleb and all his mamas after Bible Study last week.
Swimming at the guesthouse where Papa and Nana are staying. Thanks for sending these goggles, Aunt Melissa and Uncle Dave!
PAPA STILL AT WORK: Dad building a wooden cross for the church.
Singing a nice new song that Natalie wrote in pidgin on Psalm 1. Notice the cross in the background!
PAPA STILL WORKING: Dad has been helping the people in Biwat Settlement install a water tank. The tank was purchased through a donation from some members of the Free Reformed Churches in Australia. All the kids in the settlement were involved with finding stones to fill the bottom!
The concrete based--mixed by hand.
After waiting 'only' 5.5 hours for it, the tank finally arrives. A bit of a tight squeeze! Dad visited with the people, drank lots of kulau (coconut juice), and ate peanuts while they waited.

The truck couldn't go all the way into the settlement, so 20 men carried it to its spot from here. But just when Dad tried to capture that moment on camera, his battery died!
And now we're taking Dad on a holiday so he can't do any more work!
We'll be back next week!

It's so great that he can be a blessing while he's there - working hard is what he's best at, and we're so thankful that he's using that talent to bless others while he's on holidays. We hope you have a wonderful time away together now.
