Terri took this picture at one of our calls in Kobarimo. This is a granddaughter of a woman we call on. She was out skipping rope with this vine.
I wanted to post something up so I could correct something in the last post. I had mentioned an email we had received regarding a question supposedly asked on Jeopardy. Well, as with many emails, it turned out to be untrue. The actually question posed was, “What bible translation do Jehovah’s Witnesses use?” So if you passed along an untrue rumor, you will have to correct it as I have done.
That being said, time is really starting to fly by with many things left to accomplish with a very limited time to do so. Getting lumber for the toilet continues to be a problem, so Monday I will go to some of the other mills in the area and see if I can get it from them.
On a bright note, Thursday evening Bro. Baxter handed in his auxiliary pioneer application for May. It will be the fifth consecutive month he has aux. pioneered. It has been such a joy to have him out in the ministry with us so much of the time, and he has really developed his preaching skills.
Our last two trips to Kobarimo have been fairly routine. Two weeks ago we had quite a shower go through while we were there, but we were under shelter, so we stayed dry. The calls we went to after that were quite surprised to see us since it had rained so much. Unfortunately, the rain delayed us long enough that our last call figured we weren’t coming so she went out to help carry wood up from the landing, so we missed the study with her, but she was waiting for us this week.
We used the same boat we had used the two weeks before, but either it is just deteriorating due to age, or someone crashed it into something quite hard because the front has a big crack in it which leaks in quite a bit of water, so two paddle and one bails. I told Terri I wondered if it would even be there in another week, and she said that she didn’t know as she would want to take it if it was. But hey, it got us there this week. Next week will be out last trip to Kobarimo, and I’d like to keep our string of staying dry in tact.
Tomorrow starts our string of ‘last meetings’ as we won’t be having a meeting next Sunday because of the SAD program. It’s hard to believe we have been here four months already, but I also know how quick once we get home it will feel like we never had been gone. It’s almost like living in parallel realities.
