February 8th, at sunset, at Wpg airport waiting for our flight to Vancouver & then to Sydney, Australia & then to Brisbane where we spent the night before boarding a flight to Port Moresby, Paupa New Guinea & then to Goroka where Chris, Charlotte & their kids are serving with Missionary Aviation Fellowship. 5 flights with a total of over 25 hours in the air with the longest flight being just over 15 hours over the ocean.
This is the New Tribes Mission compound where our 4 grandkids are attending school. There are just over 100 kids in this school. It is about a 20 minute drive from their home to the school.

I am so glad you got to make this trip. Seeing the mission work with your own eyes must make it so much more interesting. Beautiful grandchildren and they seem quite adept in the kitchen.
Your comment about the buns on the MGCC blog had come here and I was immediately intrigued by your trip. Who goes to Papua New Guinea? ... but I see you have missinary kids there. We have missionary kids also serving with MAF on the same island ... in Papua, Indonesia. Were your kids affected by the earthquake?
I can relate to the long flight and missing the kids. Thank you for your comment and may God bless you!
