We arrived this afternoon at Bom. Chuck left early this morning with the Kunzer’s. They had a pretty rough ride, but made it safely to Bom. The rest of the team went to the morning service. They were many tearful good byes and it was very hard to leave. These people really appreciated the efforts of the team and the church to help assist them with this conference.

It was raining when we left Hoskins. When we got to Rabaul everything was cloudy, but no rain. Then a downpour started and we considered spending the day in Rabaul and leaving the next morning. Aaron and some of the guys went to Kokopo to see what the weather situation was. Jared, I and the ladies stayed at the airport with the remaining luggage. After about 30 minutes the rain stopped and the weather turned nice. The seas were not rough – so we started out. The ride was smooth almost the entire way (Jared even tried to sleep in the front of the boat (Aaron informed us that is usually what Avalon & Sierra do). It got a little choppy by the end of the trip, but nothing that concerned anyone. We all arrived safely and are settling in our new home. We start the projects tomorrow, but are planning on trying to get to bed early tonight. Thanks for your prayers and we will try to email when we can get a good connection again
