It’s hard to believe we have been here two weeks.
This week Susan and I have been getting ready for the annual Christmas dinner here in PNG. The planning committee each had to decorate a table to the theme of a Christmas Carol. Susan and I did our table to “Angels We Have Heard on High.” A good time was had by all.
The PNG Beauty Salon was open again this week. I enjoy meeting each one that sits in my chair. Clientele this week included Sam Bennett, Karen Comstock and here is Ethan getting his hair cut.
We have been busy preparing for Jeffrey and Susan’s Christmas Eve party. Susan is currently baking cookies, angels and circles, for the kids to decorate with the supplies we brought with us for the occasion. We have been making candy for several days. Jessica has been a great help. Here she is filling candy cups.
John and Jeffrey have been hard at work on their project. It is coming along. This week they went to town to do food shopping and to buy supplies for the project. The framing in is done and they were able to get 2 of the 3 outside walls covered and the roof on the part that was extended out.
We went to the Emmanuel church this morning. In taking the offering they start at the back and come forward. Even though we couldn’t understand the words during the congregational singing we recognized the tune and sang along in English. The little ones stayed in the service. As I looked over the congregation the little ones looked like they were listening and were very well behaved. I saw one little fellow with tears in his eyes. These people shed tears as we do…they laugh, cry and hurt as we do. They are God’s children Jesus died for each one of them.
Until next week …have a blessed Christmas!
John & Hilda
