Week One Complete!

What a week! God provided wonderful weather with rain during some of the nights so the water containers are holding steady (which is good for Amy and the girls, because we need showers bad at the end of the work day!)but each day was sunny at the Church allowing us to get much work done that would have been prohibitive with weather issues. Most of what we have left now is inside work and details.

I'VE MADE CHANGES TO THE BLOG "COMMENTS" SETTINGS:
I have been told people were having trouble figuring out how to leave comments. I looked into the settings and realized it was set to require being a member which meant you would have to create a user name and such, which was complicated and not worth the hassle. I changed the settings to hopefully allow simple addition of comments. Simply go to the "post comments" box at the bottom of each separate post or you should be able to post comments on individual pictures as well. We would LOVE to hear thoughts and questions from any of you that are following this since it is encouraging to know people are interested in our time here and specifically the ministry Dan and Amy are involved with in this part of the world.

Tomorrow is Saturday and we plan on staying around the campus and spending some time with family (hopefully I can get more pictures of Ben and the girls to post!) We also plan on hanging out with the college students that are still around during break and maybe test some of our mad Basketball skills:)! Ironically, my would-be height "issue" that is noticeable in America, happens to be somewhat neutralized here since most of the natives aren't very tall either.

I hope to be able to post more details this week-end about the actual ministry here and what God has been doing in PNG through the work of these faithful servants at GBBC. The Truth of God's Word transcends cultures and is the only sure foundation we have in a world that has so much evil. God is NOT surprised or wondering what to do as He watches Fox news each day (in no way do I mean to be blasphemous with that comment.) When you see His Kingdom moving forward in places like this in ways that NO human being could possibly manufacture... you start to see a much bigger picture of the redemptive plan that is unfolding throughout all ages. The fact that those of us who have accepted Christ as our Savior have the opportunity to be a part of that plan should spur us to action each day. There are people all around us that are lost and need the truth and we need not be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. It is truly the only thing worth living and dying for!

Going to bed now, as many of you reading this are likely just waking up to start the day we just lived, Trust you will have as good a Friday as we had:)!
