Homesickness always seems to follow me when I travel far away. Well, it seems to have crossed the ocean, following me all the way here to PNG. I've felt a little sad the past few days, but I have the most encouraging and supportive husband in the world. There are a bunch of great people here at POC, and we all support each other as we each go through transition in different ways, at different paces. Given the chance, I would not go back home, because I know that "here" is where I am supposed to be for now. Please pray for both of us as we adjust to MANY MANY different things here in a new country, and as we learn a new culture and language. Thank you for your love and prayers.
We have been enjoying the warm climate here, and it's nice to know we won't have to scrape any windshields or plug in any cars during the "winter"!!! We are so glad to be facing this adventure together, as a married couple, and also as best friends.
Much love,
Heidi (for Paul too)

We are so glad that you have such a wonderful husband & friend in Paul. I know how you get homesick & I know Paul is there for you. Your heavenly Friend is also always there for you, and understands even better than your wonderful Paul. We love you & miss you both. We just heard from J&C, too, and they are safe & having a good time.
Love you.

Hi Paul & Heidi,
We finally got the "blog" set up on our computer and really enjoyed reading everything and seeing your pictures. Wow, sounds like some adventure! I totally understand your homesickness and will pray for you. Think of you guys often.

hey guys,
our hearts are with you as you encounter others in a place that is other to you. true how you long for a split second of familiarity outside one another. but the path you have chosen invites you to define "home" in eachother. that is the beautiful solace of marriage. thanks for modeling it for us.
hugs and kisses
phil, ruth and sylas
