some pics and a bit of an update

Here are some pictures from my times out and about language learning.

These were taken yesterday

while i was talking with some friends by the beach this guy in his canoe came over to me and showed me his fish (pis) and how he used his umbin (net).

This week i got to go to one of the newer tribal works, the Nakinai work. One of the missionaries was leaving and I got the opportunity to give him a hand moving and cleaning the rubbish out of his house.

as part of my language study i had the opportunity to cut Copra which is the meat from coconuts, this is hard work it my not look like much but in this heat and with a mountain of coconuts in front of u to do its a lot! this meat goes to be dried then sold for processing.

Another bit of exciting news is our container arrived, earlier than expected, the Lord is Good even in the small things!

Last Saturday was spent working on the new CMA workshop this is where i will be working when my language is complete.

It’s been a busy few days but i have to thank God for the opportunities he is giving me, next week i get a tour of the local hospital and hope to get out and use the umbin myself, maybe even catch some fish!

Please continue to remember my Family at home especially my Mum, praise God every thing seem to be going well there, i thank God that he is Providing in many ways.

pray for me as i continue on in language that i can get lots of chances to learn from this amazing culture.

I have Bush orientation coming soon not sure where yet but there are a few exciting prospects ahead!

thank God for his mercy to me and us all every day!

thank you all for your support to me and your prayers they mean a lot. if you have any questions please feel free to write me or email me I would love to help you know more about what I'm doing here.
