Lapilo Lesson #10-11
This is Benjamin. He has worked in another department on our base for most of the time we’ve been meeting, but he recently started to work with COC. He came to our Bible study a few times before, but now has started to come consistently. I don’t know him well and I’m not sure how well he is keeping up, but we are happy to have him. Last Thursday we talked about Israel in the wilderness: manna, water from rocks, spying out the land, and forty years...
Ballerina Unicorn Party
Belle turned 6 on Monday, but we waited until today (Saturday) to have a little party for her. We invited a few of the little girls from the base and had a Ballerina Unicorn party! Fabulous theme, right? It was perfect for our obsessed-with-unicorns girly-girl. We started the party off by decorating unicorn horns (or “corns” as our girls would say) for the girls to wear. Once they were sufficiently sparkled, we made the ballerina unicorns pose for a...
Lapilo Lesson #9
This is Kawage, one of the COC guys who comes to our Bible Study. He lives close by, but is part of the Kuman Tribe which I visited just after we arrived in PNG the first time. In the picture above, he is using the leaves of the tangat bush as decoration–this is not uncommon. Many times, when I raise my camera, people grab a flower or something to “decorate” themselves. Today, in our Bible Study (which was delayed one day because of Belle’s...
My 6th Birthday
Today was my birthday. I am turning six. It was a fun day. Here I am opening a present. It was my birthday dress that mommy made. Everett wanted to open one of my presents. Mommy and Daddy got me an Ariel doll. I got to pick all the meals. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Here I am with my unicorn drawing that mommy made. Here is me with my birthday sign on my door. For lunch I had coleslaw and macaroni and cheese. Me...
Lapilo Lesson #8
Today we talked about the Law–more specifically, the ten commandments. I started with God offering his deal to Israel (Exodus 19:3-8) and Israel saying that they would obey. Then we worked our way through the ten commandments. When I do this in America, people typically make it through the first two commandments unscathed (in their own estimation) because they have not literally bowed down to idols. Not so today. After the first commandment, I asked if anyone had...
