Welcoming a New Year...


Over the Christmas holiday, we spent time with friends from another mission. While the break was a welcome respite, we are glad to be back in Ukarumpa. Looking ahead, we have much to do before July when we return to the US on a 9 month home assignment. Kathy is currently teaching full-time, serving as the Science Department Head and co-leading a community group Bible study for 9th grade girls. Scott is serving as both Field Security Officer and Senior Manager for Regional Centers. Scott will be traveling a bit for work through parts of February and March, and March is also the time for our biennial PNG branch conference. Given our pending July home assignment, we also have to make preparations to ensure a smooth transition before our absence. All in all, it looks like the next 5 months will go by pretty fast. While in the US, we will be serving as missionaries-in-residence at Dover Baptist Church. We will also be traveling to see our partners in mission, family and friends, and attend some additional training. We hope to see as many of you as possible before our intended return to Papua New Guinea in late March of 2020.
