Photo Update

So many things happen that I don't find the time to blog about, so here are a bunch of photos from various events of the last 2 months.

This young man in the photo with Ian began studying at the Reformed Churches Bible College in Port Moresby last month. His name is Greg and he's bright and inquisitive and says he's enjoying life and studies at the RCBC very much.
Although you can barely see them in the photo, Bruce and Dina 't Hart
from Albany, Australia really did visit Lae!
We enjoyed a rainforest hike with them.
At Easter, there was a youth conference at our church
and here are most of the participants.
They had a great time studying God's Word and having fun together.
For the past 6 weeks, our kids have enjoyed visiting these puppies at our friend's place.
"Can I keep him, Mom? Pleeaaase?"
(Except our landlords won't allow pet dogs in the compound:().
Our serious little man.
This past week we had Henry and Rita Versteeg visiting from Port Moresby.
It was their first visit to Lae and we shared our life and work with them,
and also took them to the Rainforest Habitat at the University.

"Look at that, Jono!"

The Whole Fam
Rita is quite the bird expert and got some great shots of different species:
The Southern Cassowary
The Blue Bird of Paradise
Also this past week, we went on a Bush Walk and Nature Scavenger Hunt with Jonathan's class.
It took place at the Lae City Mission property 11 miles outside of Lae.
This mission reaches out to young men who are caught in a life of crime
and tries to help them find employment.
Six of these young men were our guides for the hike
and as we walked they pointed out bright green lizards, huge spiders and other critters for the class to see. It was great fun.
God's creation is always amazing.
That's all for now!

I remember this families when i was lil girl I use to see reform church inside of sogeri (ITIKI). I normally see the Pastor driving the Ladcruzer along the road. Cuz I go there to visit ma uncle there.

Its interesting that the church have grown so well. I pray that God will bless you richly in everything you and your family are doing in God's Ministry.
