Trip to Marulaon

the view from the lagoon downhill from our house

our new church, St. Matthias (women sit on the left, men sit on the right, children can sit on either side)




our alarm clock, the drum that calls everyone to morning prayer at dawn (did I mention the church is just next door?)

Now the fun begins as we dive into the world of finishing the house. God is providing for our needs in amazing ways (from money to help us set up house to an old man named Barnabas who has taken Aaron's language learning on as his special project) , and it is so fun to see Him at work!

Wow!!! What an awesome sky...and the water is soooo clear.
Prayers and hugs and love to you as you begin the work on the house. I love the church, it reminds me of the tabernacle at camp when I was a kid.
Drums at dawn for prayer..that is a wonderful thought. Too bad we don't have such in the USA.
Love you,
Nahna

So incredibly beautiful! I can just imagine the way the Lord is going to speak through His creation all around you - what a treasure.

I remember being in church with men on one side and women on the other. It used to be such a natural thing...I'd just forgotten.

Thank you for sharing! Thank you for taking those moments with internet to keep us posted. Prayers continue always. We love you all!
