We're back at our home-away-from-home. The great thing about staying at a missionary guest house is that your concept about the family of God grows.
I've met a young single girl from Spain who is studying anthropology (specifically the bureaucracy of Melanesia...) and who needs to find housing for one year in Port Moresby. I wonder if her search will help us find housing for our own single staff women here?
I've also met two women my age. One woman, from Germany, is a missionary in Indonesia and is on her way home to see her daughter get married. The other woman is from Finland and she helps translate scriptures here into one of the many languages spoken in Papua New Guinea.
We met with our staff in the common living area here for a short meeting before lunch. It's good to see them again! We began making plans together for the next week as well as for the beginning of the next university year in Feb., when some folks from the Australia ministry will join us for a couple of weeks.
Who would ever think a girl like me would ever be here... in this very special house in Papua New Guinea, rubbing shoulders with these very interesting, and beloved children of the King. What an honour!
