A Year in Pictures....

Good-Bye 2010…..looking forward to 2011!

 

(I stole this idea from my old college roommate.  Hope you don’t mind, Andie!)

 

Here is this last year in pictures!

 

January- Left the States and moved to Papua New Guinea

February- Started a 14-week orientation course: hiking, swimming, language learning, cultural observation, survival skills and more….

March- We were assigned a “watch family” who helped us learn the culture and language

April- Lived in a PNG village for 5 long weeks, but at least we lived close to the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in my life!

May- Flew from the beach to the mountains of Ukarumpa

June- Thoroughly enjoyed our many packages we received this year!

July- Celebrating the 4th of July internationally is weird….but we made the most of it!

August- Caleb enjoyed riding his borrowed motorbike!

September- I started leading the 11th grade girls Bible Study.  Love these girls!

October- took a mini-holiday to the beach…..Caleb desperately needed a break from the security work here on center.

November- Caleb joined translator Ryan and two others on a hike into the village of Saut to assess the security situation and determine when Ryan’s family could return.

December- Ben turned 3!!!  What an adventure this past year has been for this little guy!  He has grown in so many new and exciting ways!
