Katherine called me out on the porch during school recently, she had sighted several Solomons cockatoos in the tree next door. They flew off, squawking loudly, as soon as I began taking photos.
And now it's time for us to "fly" off to the Russells. Aaron finally got in touch with the boat crew this afternoon, and the update is that the Lavucy plans to leave tomorrow evening. For the first time, we are trying the travel combination of putting the majority of our cargo on the copra ship, and then leaving the next day in a motor canoe (Thursday, around 3 p.m., CDT) with the family and a few bags. The goal is to arrive in the village not too long before all of our boxes do.
Prayers appreciated as we navigate the next transition!
"The good news is that God uses transition to move us away from ourselves, away from our idols and false substitutes for life, and toward a greater dependence and rootedness in Him. Transition is a powerful tool in God's hands to show us where we need to let some things die, let others go, to own and embrace at a deep level God's truth and consistency in our lives."
