We are back in Papua New Guinea! Although, there are only four of us now
instead of seven. My three oldest are
all in the States attending Fairhaven Baptist College. We miss those three very
much. Well, I already have several
stories I could tell and we have only been here a few days! We have seen the Lord watching over us on our
travels, and help us through our adjusting again to the field.
For this first post, I will go with a lizard story. We have been very busy and have faced several
battles since we have been back. On our
first morning back, Sunday morning, as we prepared to leave for church, Levi
noticed our vehicle had a flat tire. I
am not back two days and I have my first flat tire! We also have a short somewhere in our wiring
in the house. We currently have no ceiling
fans working, the majority of lights are out due to the short and the fridge is
fried! Welcome back!
On our second night here, we all fell asleep very
quickly. We have been working hard all
day long to get things back in order. I
woke up shortly before 6:00am. Mariann
was still sleeping and as I sat up and looked at her, I noticed she had a tattoo
of a Lizard on her arm!!! I was pretty
confident she could not have snuck out that night and went to a tattoo parlor,
so I decided to take a closer look. As I
looked closer, I am still thinking, yep
that is a tattoo of a lizard! Mariann
woke up and noticed me starring at her arm.
She looked at arm and freaked out, and then the “tattoo” fell off! Only it was not a tattoo, it was a real
lizard! Mariann had laid on the gecko and squished it, and the lizard became one with her arm! It was in a perfect “S” format. The poor thing suffocated to death! I certainly hope that gecko had life
insurance!
