January 2006 pictures

We took a picture of our freezer full of ice cream so we can remember the good ole days after we return to PNG on January 9th.	We’re all grateful for the expertise and kindness of Dr. Wada. She spent days getting all our teeth back in order!	Being in Hawaii we had to spend some time on the beach.

X-ray of Mariko's broken arm.	She also got to sing on the beaches of Waikiki.	Joan and Mariko taking it easy.

Jared has been a hard worker and helping out wherever he can but some times we found him just hanging around.	He did complete a ground school in preparation to becoming a bush pilot.	He and Mariko were able to continue with guitar lessons from their excellent teacher, Pastor Mark Turansky.

Micah is settled in his studio apartment going to electronics school and selling fridges at Sears.	He also buys and sells motorcycles on the side.	At the moment he’s borrowing Mariko’s sling as he flipped his bike and broke his collarbone. We rescued the bike with our van.

Joan has enjoyed being home with her family,	taking her Mom to the Doctors and going out with her friends.	I’ve been the chauffeur taking the kids all around.

You can pray our van and car sells and that we will be able to get things back in order when we get back to PNG. Our house has been broken in to, our generator and water pump died, the supply barge quite coming,	our cat died,	and the phone is down. I’m sure we’ve got a few challenges ahead of us.
