What did you eat when you where there?...a post for my Dad.

The first day we went to market...

some of the un-named greens looked like Chinese veggies my parents would know. It's PNG han choy and Gagow.

There was fruit, like slimy sugar-fruit. my Dad would like this...

sugar fruit ie passion fruit

Most of the time I enjoyed amazing hospitality from the missionaries on station who were continuously inviting me over for lunch and dinner. I ate way better here than than I do in the Oklahoma due to their great skills.  Here are some of the wonderful missionary families that encouraged, loved, and taught me while I was here. Seeing their godly examples was one of the best parts of coming to PNG.

Dr Andy Bennett and his wife Judy. He is a Family Medicine doctor. He and his wife visit bush churches often, preach often, and were overall wonderful examples for me of joy filled, gospel loving, people loving, Christ-followers. They made me pancakes after church one day.

Dr Bill McCoy and his wife Marsha. Bill is a genious doctor who was the very first graduate from my residency program many years ago. He and Marsha love to laugh and he leads the Bible quizzing team for the mission station.

Dr Erin on the left is a wonderful teacher and friend. She recently memorized the entire book of Hebrews to help the kids train for their Bible quizzing. Dr Pringle is a kind OBGYN who comes 3 months every year and he taught me how to do D&Cs (not for abortions but for saving lives). His wife Teranza is a pilot and a fabulous chef. Dr Jim on the right and his wonderful wife Kathy have been missionaries here for 35 years and are humble and kind servants. Every Sunday they make prayer rounds with their patients together and last Sunday Kathy led a lady to the Lord during that time.

Remember those who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith. Hebrews 11:7

I'm thankful for all the godly shepherds, teachers, and mentors in my life. Some of you are reading this. Someday we will worship the Lord together in Heaven and He will literally be our light and eternal joy. press on !
