It is done. The tickets are bought…We will be moving to Papua New Guinea on 8.9.10! PHEW! It is shocking how complicated buying tickets to get you to the other side of the world can be! Add the fact that we are trying to pinch pennies & traveling with a one year old and it gets even more complicated!
On Saturday morning we were able to spend several hours on Skype with Aimee to do our ticket buying. Though it took a long time, everything went well. After three power outages (not sure why) and one call to the bank, the tickets were ours!
After our flight from Detroit and then a very long flight from LA, we’ll be staying a few nights in Australia to help us recover from jet lag and to break up the over twenty four hours total of travel. After a few days there, we will arrive at our new home in Papua New Guinea. Home? That sounds weird…

Being the wordy one that I am, I am dying to tell you how we got our visas!
The way God worked it all out was just so marvelous- it MUST be shared.
For those of who did not know, we sent the applications for our visas in about two weeks after our missionary friend Aimee sent hers in (remember Aimee is our friend that we wanted to travel with). We REALLY wanted to be able to move to PNG with Aimee but with the time difference in our paperwork and just the facts of how visas were currently being approved we felt it was very unlikely that we could all get our visas at the same time. Nevertheless, we were praying for it and asked all of you to pray too!
