Right after I wrote the blog on the 2nd of December, we were hit with Covid in our house, on the 10th. We seem to all have gotten over it with me still having some side effects that I might have to go get checked this week. I would appreciate your prayers.
The holidays were not what we have been dreaming of over the past three years. As a missionary you talk and reminisce over and over about what you can’t wait for, for when you are back in the states. Honestly it was one of the hardest Christmas’ and New Years I have ever been through. Trusting the LORD in a hard time is one of the hardest things to do. I am so thankful for all of you who would have seen my facebook post and were praying for my family specifically my father who was in the hospital with Covid pneumonia. He is doing much better and we praise God for His answered prayers.
“Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you- you are my God.” - Psalm 86:1~2
Watching facebook and seeing all my friends back in PNG living life and enjoying the holidays was so lovely. Honestly I do miss being there. I miss the simplicity of life. While we are there we miss America and all that goes with it, then while we are here we miss the simplicity of life in PNG.
We have a jam packed schedule being back in the states, please pray for all of the traveling and that we would be an encouragement to all the churches as we travel and give an update on what the Lord has been doing in PNG. With out fail we also continue to pray for the people of Moka and the surrounding villages. Many have heard the word and we pray for converts while we are gone
2022 might not have started like we would have “liked” but we know that God is in control and we pray that He will guide us and direct us as we are home in the states as well as in PNG.
“Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.”-Psalm 86:6
