We are really enjoying our time in Massachusettes. We would love to see as many friends as we can while we are here as our next step in our Journey is to go back to PA and then get on a plane for Papua New Guinea! We are so thankful our Work Visa was approved and we are waiting for it to come back from the embassy in Washington DC. It's amazing to watch our plans unfold and we pray daily for nothing unexpected to happen! We are looking forward to our ministry in Papua New Guinea! For those of you in Massachusettes that have time in the next week or so we would love to visit with you! Just let us know !
~God Bless~

         Tranquility, serenity, escape from our ever accelerating world...it seems the walking I need to be doing everyday for my back is actually more than just medicine for my healing back but actually the prescription I needed to get that moment of peace to reflect and talk with my loving Savior~Jesus.
   Our family is watching the days slip quickly past and we know we will wake up one of these days on a one way plane to Papua New Guinea. We have finally moved out of our lovely home and watched our new renters move in. It was with a great joy to have such a lovely family move into our home! We are so thankful to close that chapter of our journey. We commemorated the day by planting two trees on our property, we hope (God willing) our boys will enjoy the shade of the crab apple tree and fruit of the peach tree we left on our last day. We sure would appreciate your prayers as we have so much to accomplish before we leave for three years!
Thank you for your kindness to our family as we have many reasons to grieve and rejoice. It's a little confusing as we grieve the precious people we love that we won't be seeing for a awhile we rejoice in knowing we will be able to love and invest in new friends lives. We will miss America and all the trappings yet look forward to our new life in PNG and the many new adventures we will experience. This is getting long so please just pray! THANK YOU!

Wow, we feel a great weight lifted and are so thankful to get the news OUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN ACCEPTED!!!!!
Papua New Guinea has given us our work Visa and we now are waiting for the approval to make it's way to the Embassy in Washington DC. We've been told this part of the process may take some time. We are still hopeful to be in PNG sometime in September. Please continue to pray with us for God's perfect timing! We trust we'll be in PNG no sooner that He desires for us to be there. Meanwhile we are really enjoying our time with family and friends, we continue to raise support and share our ministry with anyone that will listen. We have such an amazing opportunity and we are thankful to be on this amazing journey!
