As promised, here are some more photos of our time in the village. One day some village kids came and asked if they could play soccer so I organized a game where I played on one team with some of them and another mom played on the other team with some of them. It was great fun and after a while Christiaan and Aidan joined in. Those village kids could play some pretty good soccer.

Each group in VBS received a bandana for when they broke into teams. Photo number 4 is Marc with his two buddies of the week. I took the photo of the valley when a bunch of us, including Mikah, went on a hike up the mountain. Man, was that ever steep! But once we were up there we had a great view of the valley and you can see the airstrip in the middle somewhere. Of course, on our way down it poured and poured! Those two wood ovens are what all our food was cooked on. All water had to be boiled as well before it was drinkable so it had a rather smokey taste. The second last picture is of the chapel located on the complex.

On the home front, there are currently no eggs available anywhere right now. I did manage to get some margarine through some friends who went to Jayapura for their annual finger-printing. (another story...)
