Part of being a missionary is learning to say goodbye and to live in transition. Today I said goodby to my “PNG mom” and we cried and promised to pray for each other while we are apart. We exchanged Christmas gifts and I was humbled to receive two cucumbers from her garden- literally her “first fruits” harvested since the drought dried everything up. She explained that she gave her very first to the pastor of her church, and then wanted to share the next with us, because God had blessed her through us during the drought and she now wanted to bring an offering in return. It is wonderful to see how the Holy Spirit is working in the lives of the beautiful people of Papua New Guinea, to see God’s Word being taught to the next generation and Jesus Christ being proclaimed! -Kathy
