PNG/Aussie Project - Day 13: "Market day"

[Today (Saturday) is Day 11 of 12 for the Aussies]

This morning we were going to go to the market to buy souvenirs, but it started pouring down rain at about 7:15 am, and we never made it :-(   We headed out finally to the local market down the street at 3 pm, but it was all closed down.  The Aussies leave Monday morning and some wanted to buy some souvenirs (all markets are closed on Sundays).  So we went to the supermarket and one of the Aussies (Shei) bought 48 packets of chicken crackers & beef crackers.  This picture is her feeling a bit embarrassed.  The manager came over for a while and just watch them scan them in - I think he was trying to figure why anyone would buy so many (but they are good... and unique).

Adelyn & Greg enjoying ice cream!

The guest house we're staying in has great dinners (it's hard to lose weight here), and ice cream almost every night.  This being the everyone's last dinner here (except for me), we all made a big deal of the ice cream!  [tomorrow we have our big farewell dinner].

 After dinner, several of the Aussies put on a skit that they wrote which takes place when Jesus called James & John to be his disciples.  It is told from the point of view of a lady collecting water who is observing the conversations - and has both James & John sharing their thoughts. 

The point was that both James and John said yes to following Jesus and left their previous life (fishing/family business) to follow Jesus - they, like us, had barriers to overcome: like their father's expectation to continue fishing, etc.  It was excellent!! 

Nathan (Aussie) & I

Then we had 3 people give testimonies as to what happened in their lives to lead them to accept God's call to join Campus Crusade (Student Life).

The PNG clan (all except Eva)

 Here are 2 more pictures.  The large one to the right was myself, our 3 PNG young staff members, and our 6 student leaders - Eva was not with us because she is staying at her home and it's not safe to drive at night.

Thanks for praying!!!
