The last week has been a whirlwind - Nahna and Papa have come to visit us! They arrived in Marulaon on Sunday afternoon and received a royal welcome from our neighbors. On Monday, we showed them around the village and let them catch their breath a little bit. We got a good rain on Monday as well, so all of the rain tanks have plenty of water in them. Katherine finished her malaria meds on Tuesday and is back to her spunky two-year-old self now. Thanks for your prayers for our family.
Tuesday, Grace, Leku, Sarah and I took Nahna diving for kalimeta (shellfish). This was the first time I had ever gone hunting for them, so it was exciting for all of us! We paddled over crystal clear water to a shallow place near a nearby island. Then, Leku hopped out of the canoe to find a good spot to collect the critters. When she found them, we paddled over, anchored the canoe, and climbed over the edge to dive down. Sarah could stand in some places, so she helped us, too. Even Nahna joined us for a little while and admired God's creation underneath the ocean. I had a hard time concentrating on finding food because I was enamored of all of the fish and coral.

I am so excited to be catching up with you again! First you weren't able to post for awhile and then I had to take a blogging break. You were still in my prayers though. I will be sending you a package very soon :o).
Blessings!
