House, formal etc

These are a few snaps of my new house it has the lived in look rather than the show house look:)



this is the bathroom

my study/store room
kitchen The cupboard doors are on there way just waiting for hinges. the joys of living in png cant just pop down to B&Q for stuff they may have it in town but if not its a waiting game and has to be ordered either from another part of the country or more likely from Australia, US or home. but this is all good as it does teach patience!
Living room
Bedroom
Below are some pictures of the school formal we had here a few weeks ago i had the priviledge of helping at this.



it has been and will be a busy few weeks ahead as last night we had the high school graduation and next week we will be having our islands region conference when all the guys from the tribal works gather to share what they have been doing and also get some teaching from Gods word.
things with me are going well i have one last check with my language (i hope) then i will be able to go into my ministry full time right now im only working 2hrs a day just trying to keep on top of things, having to work out a budget for my ministry so we can begin to get things sorted out. it has been a challenge doing language and work at the same time and its very easy for work to win but im realizing that the work will always be there but this time with language is a very precious time which will benefit me more in the long term.
Jas 1:2 ¶ My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials
this verse is becoming more and more real to me as the challanges of mission life become more real every day. thank you all for your continued prayers and support.

Prayer

This could be quite a massive weekend for some friends of mine Gabby and Vinsentia, i have asked for prayer for these guys before but this time it could be really special, they have been going through teaching with some local believers (its the same teaching NTM use in the tribe). well these guys have reached the "head of the talk" or the climax of the story of Christ His death burial and resurrection. so please pray the the Holy Spirit will move inside these guys hearts and they will "tainim bel" or have a transformed heart, transformed by the love and grace of our Christ!
also as you all know i'm still in language study well tomorrow Friday the 4th i will be taking another test i'm hoping this test will bring me to Capable low or mid which will only leave one more stage till i finish right now i'm on progressing high.
Please continue to pray for the hearts and lives of Papa New Guinea that this amazing country will seek after Christ!
Thank you all for ur continued prayerful support of Christs work for me here and continue to pray for my family at home.
thanks
Geoff
