Housing, Details, Cleaning, Party

-

The aviation team is working together to finish all the details on our home.  Today, we picked up mirrors for the bathrooms.  Oh to have two bathroom sinks with mirrors and a kitchen sink.  What luxury!  We have been working out of only one sink (the kitchen) for the past year.  It’s all ok until hands that have used the bathroom are being washed over dishes waiting to be cleaned.  Or teeth that need to brushed are facing a sink full of veggies being washed.

Master bathroom.  Very roomy with shower.

So the cabinets are almost all hung.  It has been a difficult job.  Girls from the school are working on getting all the windows washed and floors cleaned.  Screen doors are being assembled and planed and drilled for hinges to be hung in place.  The details are all coming together.

Last night we at aviation met for prayer meeting.  At the end we discussed wanting to meet for a going away party for the treasure.  When choosing the location, we all decided it would be fun to do it at the new house.  So a week on Sunday the doors will open to the first party at the Boyd’s “new” house!  If you know us at all, we are always up for a group coming over.  Stay posted to see if we move in before this date or not….but regardless we will party at the Boyd’s.  Wish you could come!

Last Flight

Bob and his daughter, Stephanie, flying on a different day in Papua . Jan and Bob It was another ordinary Wednesday in Papua.  The rain had come down all night.  Leaving the runway soggy.  6 a.m. I had finished reading my Bible and I hear Bob take off on first flight.  I think, “Wow, he is early this morning!”  Then the typical morning craziness starts in my house.  The cooking of a hot breakfast.  Packing school lunches.  Signing forms.  Arranging pick ups.  Off to school.  Exercise.  Home. Unfortunately, the freezer has frozen over so much that the door is on longer sealing.  It’s a forced, defrost the freezer day.  Out comes all the food.  Towels are laid everywhere.  Drip. Drip.  Jacob is on his 3rd day of not feeling well.  It has been a week of no routine.  No home school.  POP a video into the DVD player for Jacob and lucky little brother to watch.  I go into the office...

Change Never Happens Fast, Except Today it Did

Today (Wednesday, Nov. 1),  Darron and Gary were leaving on an afternoon flight to the Philippines.  The nicer of our two cars had just been picked up from the repair shop ( it was an alternator this time).  They are at that stage.  Always, something falling apart.  With the mission mobile, we can’t complain.  It is 21 years old!!!!  Darron just popped down to the hanger to fill up the tires with air and I heard him pip the horn at the gate, to indicate he was read to go to the airport.  Yet, he had a different message.  The tire needed repaired…..or more probably replaced. Groan.  There is ONE thing, I disdain as a woman and that is handling car problems.  It’s hard enough to do it in your home country and a language you are fluent in.  Try doing it in a foreign country.  Also to me, it is a MANS world.  If you want to plop me in my discomfort zone, tell me I have to get the car fixed. So off we drive.  Air hiss...

Anguished Hearts

Image after image flashes through my mind.  I see little but “growing bigger and stronger” two and half year old Azarya coming towards me on the gravel runway.  Wanting to give me a high five and nothing warms my heart more.  Knowing that this is the little boy who drank his way back to life with goats milk.  More images of all over campus this little boy waving at me and smiling shyly, running and playing like normal children should.  Every time I saw him, I rejoiced in the second chance that Jesus had given him.  More images of being with his Mommy and Daddy and their JOY and gratefulness in Ayarya’s strength and change as he transformed before their eyes from being severely malnourished to vibrant.  Ida, his Mommy, is my closest Papua friend, and I see so many images of her and I chatting and laughing together and enjoying her new fat little baby boy, now two months old.  Despite that Ida was still morning the unexpected loss of her father and ...
