We are doing well. David returned from the delegate conference in the States and went into the role of acting Director for Member Services. We then had a 5 day vacation to Madang and it was really nice to have that family time together. David has been very busy with his responsibilities and you can pray for wisdom for him as he is in this job. I think he enjoys a lot of aspects of the job, but other parts call for some very difficult decisions to be made.

The kids are all back to school. Jonathan is in Kindergarten this year and goes to school five mornings a week now! They're all doing well.

I've been busy on the Sunday Services Planning Committee. I help to schedule services and sometimes coordinate services, and have been involved in planning fellowships as a way to build up and strengthen the body of Christ. We are working toward having some evening services and fellowship times where both expats and Papua New Guinea families in our community all fellowship and worship together. (There is both a Tok Pisin morning service and an English morning service.) More recently I've been helping to form new worship teams and making the schedule for this. I also sometimes help to arrange meals for those who are sick. And I work in the literacy office one morning a week. More recently there's been a lot to do, so I've been kept pretty busy.

Love,
Susan
