5 1/2 months in Sentani

I thought I would share with you some pictures of the past year and some of the work projects that I have been involved in .  I spent 5 1/2 months working and living at the guest house in sentani from June-Nov.

Project one was putting in a new grey water line for one of the wings at the guest house.  I had a lot of help but it was still difficult.
Ditch is dug.  Replumbing the lines.

Project 2 was regrouting one of the showers.  It’s not as easy as you might think. 









fixing leaky roofs… the amount of spider webs…. enough said. 


 put together some fun things too like painting a 4 square court....

These were only a few things that were done while I was there. In addition to Helping with medivacs, the constant change of people coming in and out of the tribe, training new housekeepers and helping the cook in the kitchen.  I have decided that working at the Guest House is hard and challenging work.  There are permanent Guest House Keepers on the way.  They are currently in the middle of language study.  Please be praying for them as they learn the language and prepare to take over the work at the guest house.  The temporary guest house keepers (the ones that took over after me) are looking for team members and hope to soon be moving into a new tribal work! Please pray for them as well. 

As for me, I returned to wamena in November and am currently house sitting for a family on furlough.  They will be back in July and I need to decide what to do after that.  Work in wamena has slowed, I might have mentioned that before and at the moment I am seeking advice on what to do next.  There is still work that needs to be done here but I feel that for me it is not enough to keep me in wamena. I am, however, still doing the book keeping. Please be praying for me as I try to decide what to do next and clear direction as to where God would have me.
