July & August 2011: Re-entry |
|
A phone, a
computer, a car, and a home… in that order. We arrived back in the United
States June 28 and after a few days of recovery (especially for me), we got to
work. The phone and computer were easy since we already knew what we wanted. A
limited selection of used cars made the task of finding something suitable a
bit easier but supply and demand made the price harder to swallow. The house
was more difficult. We already have a house, but the last renters left holes in
the walls, busted up doors, left graffiti on the walls and garage floor, and

June 23, 2011: Pigs and Helmets |
|
The first leg of our trip back to the US

that was left, and we took off for CLTC with me following on my motorcycle. We
were about 40 miles from Ukarumpa, and I was about a mile behind the van, when
a pig weighing about 200 – 250 lbs. darted in front of me. I remember nothing
of the next 25 minutes…

May & June 2011: Preparation and Graduation |
|
I spent most
of March and April teaching in Lae (see previous entry) and the last day of
class was May 5th. It was a time to celebrate and to say good-bye. The
students gave me some wonderful gifts (which I’ll be bringing around when I
visit churches) and we had a small feast. Then it was back to Ukarumpa for me -
just in time to gear up for the festivities surrounding Daniel’s graduation. The
first event was “Banquet” where the parents work together to transform the
small gym into a dinner theater and small carnival….
