Bime

My husband Daniel gets to go some pretty cool places flying a very neat airplane! This is a panoramic photo he took of the airstrip at Bime, a small village.

I think it's very beautiful, so I wanted to share it with you!

My Little 2 Year Old

Zoe is 2! 

Two years ago I met her for the first time. We had already completed 3 months of language school and she was born in a hospital in Indonesia 1.5 hours away from where we lived.

One year ago we celebrated her birthday in Idaho at the MAF headquarters and she loved eating her cupcake.

And now we live in Papua, Indonesia and she loves to run around, play in water, and practice saying new words.

I love her so much!

In approximately 4 months she will be a big sister!

Margaret and Andy's Visit

I feel very blessed that my youngest sister Margaret and her husband traveled all the way around the world to come and visit us! Here are a few photos and highlights from their visit:

enjoying mango juice

Zoe got to feed deer (in Bogor, near Jakarta)

We visited a beautiful botanical garden. Complete with huge trees and lovely tropical flowers.

Andy and Margaret with a view of the city of Sentani, Papua where we live.

The pasar (market).

Zoe loved the extra attention that she received from Margaret and Andy.

We visited a river, Kali Biru (Blue River).

Floating down the river in the jungle!

At the beach!

It was so nice to have family members here to show around, have everyday life with, and play board games with! Zoe loves her aunt and uncle (she calls Andy "Annie"). It was good to also see our life here through another set of eyes.

The beach is very nice here! Maybe we will get some more visitors sometime soon... ??? (It's expensive and takes forever to get here....but feel invited!)
