This past weekend, Paul & I had the opportunity to go to our first big cultural experience, in Madang town. The whole group of us went to a singsing, which is traditional dancing. A huge group of local university students put it on, and groups of students from different tribal groups wore their traditional dress and performed their traditional dances as they sang. It was beautiful!!! It was a hot day, and standing there watching the dancers in their feathers, paint, fur and headdresses, in a big field surrounded by palm trees, we were happy to be here! These are the moments when we appreciate experiencing a new culture, with all its beauty, uniqueness and mystery. It being such a hot day, we found refreshment by drinking a kulau, the juice inside a ripe coconut. We also shared with our little friend, Jonathan (one of the little ones we’re getting to know here at POC).
A little side note; thank you so much to those of you who leave comments – we read them, and LOVE hearing from you this way.

HI Paul & Heidi! WE MISS YOU SOOO MUCH. Sorry you haven't read from us yet. We pull up your website whenever we can to read the latest on whats been going on in your lives. Praise God for giving you this great opportunity and Bless you both for taking it on! So far I'm most envious of the Roll Kuchen you had b4 you left...and the Tan you're both going to come back with! ha ha. We're all doing great, had a busy summer. Keigan is rolling and squirming around, getting close to sitting up on his own.
