Finally here in Papua New Guinea! But where is “here” exactly? Glad you asked! Papua New Guinea, as you know, is connected to the Indonesian islands just north of Australia. Right now I’m at training in Madang on the east coast of the island. The training campus is located on a mountain just outside of town nestled into a community called the Nobnob community. This community is surrounded by small Nobnob villages. Soon I’ll be assigned a mentor family (wasfemili) from one of the nearby villages to help me learn Tok Pisin (Melanesian Pidgin) and the culture over the next seven weeks before going to live in a village for four weeks. I hope to share pictures of the campus and some Tok Pisin with you in coming weeks, but for now you’ll have to settle for the incredible view from the training campus!

What a beautiful place! Maybe the nice scenery makes those long hikes a little easier. :-) We love you!

I LOVE the pic with the road (perhaps the road less traveled)? It is beautiful scenery. I think it should be a cover photo or something. Praying for you.
