Greetings from Papua New Guinea!
With a day to go until we leave, life is busy. We've been organising and cleaning our house, sorting and packing clothes, printing out tickets and travel directions, organising transport, arranging to visit people, working on furlough presentations, designing photo books, obtaining permission to visit Australia, finishing up at work, and having our photo taken:
As you can see, Levi is looking more and more like his Dad ;-).
Andrew has been building a workshop behind our house out of a shipping container so that he'll be able to work on projects from home in future. I expect our children will gain mechanical experience of their own out there too.
Thank you for your prayers regarding our house and dog while we're away; we've seen some wonderful answers.
This is what our travel plans look like for the next few weeks:
6 March: Fly to the capital city, Port Moresby.
7 March: Fly to Brisbane, Australia.
11 March: Fly to Melbourne, Australia. (We'll be visiting the friends we lived with at the time Levi was born.)
14-15 March: Fly to London and drive to Haslemere, Surrey.
19 - 31 March: Visit friends and family in Warrington, Cumbria, Sunderland, York and Leicestershire.
1 April: Move into our flat in Haslemere.
We have much to look forward to, but realise that the next month will also be very intense. We would appreciate your continued prayer, especially that we will recover quickly from jetlag and for good emotional adjustments with the changes that are to come.
