Saying Goodbye

When you're getting ready to leave a place for 6 months, you end up saying a lot of goodbyes! Here's a few shots of those we will leave behind! 

Jono and Karlyn with their friend Estelle who lives in our compound.

Our 'whiteskin' friends! Most of you won't recognize many people on here, 

except maybe that lovely couple on the far left!

Jono saying goodbye to one of his many guinea pigs!

Karlyn and her friends!

 Serah, our home-school assistant and sweet Avigail--

they will both be missed by us, and especially by Caleb. 

Karlyn and more of her friends!

And of course, they can't let us go without sending gifts. 

This is Andrew, sending a bilum (string bag) for his "best friend, Tom" (my dad)!

We leave early tomorrow morning (5am:() and fly to Port Moresby where we'll spend almost a week at the Bible College. Then it's over to Holland to see my two brothers--my youngest brother is getting married and two days later we hope to celebrate my parent's 40th wedding anniversary too!  Then we'll finally move on to settle in Canada for a bit and await our little one. All the Lord willing, of course!
