Two weeks from today begins the teacher orientation for a new school year. This year we are short on teachers, administrators, IT people, and just about everything that one can be short on. So if you fit one of the above and want to serve overseas please get in touch with me or the school. Would love to see you here working along side us.
Now in an other situation our school would be in a panic. It is amazing how we just need to give it over to God and realize that we are all His and under His plan anyway. If we can realize this it is amazing how at peace one can feel in the midst of crazy circumstances.
God is good, all the time. Do we believe this deep down or not?? My heart wants to believe it! Lets believe!

Singapore... Pyramid...
Singapore this summer went well. Kids got their checkups and I had a MRI done on my knee. The doctor found out that I did not have an ACL and so repaired it. Had surgery 3 days after the initial appointment and now am back home recovering. The part that I do not like at this moment is the wait, 6 months until I can even think of touching a basketball again. Not cool!
We just returned from a week of being in the interior. Every year MAF has a great time as all Papua MAFers get together for a week of spiritual and emotional renewal. A church named New Heights from the US sends out a team to lead the services and look after the children. The amount that this church does for us is unbelievable. We can not thank them enough. The pastor went through Luke 7-10. Amazing stuff. Called to Care is what the team came to do and to challenge us to do in Indonesia. Janna and I came home refreshed spiritually, of course not physically as you do not really sleep because it is too much fun to play games with friends til all hours of the morning. Our kids had a blast. The team from New Heights sends out college age kids to hang out and lead VBS for the kids so that the adults can spend their time listening to the Word of God. Basically we would see our kids at meals only. All in all a great time!!
Well we are back at home now trying to get everything back to normal as we now have two and a half weeks before school starts. Time to get back to work. Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement.

Surgery...
We came to singapore for the kids eyes and to have my knee MRI ed. The specialist told me with one touch of my left knee that my ACL was gone. Then the MRI confirmed that I did not even have an ACL. So yesterday I had reconstructive surgery on my left knee. After the surgery the doctor came and showed me pics of my knee. He found out that indeed my ACL was no where to be seen and that my MCL was 30% torn. Crazy. This could be the cause of my discomfort:-) I stayed in the hospital for one night and am now back home wishing for more pain killers.
Please pray that we can now get my flight changed because I need to stay here to have some phsyiotherapy.
Kids appointments went well and we are having fun in Singapore. Well thank you all for your continuing support.

I have finally done it. I have started a facebook page, so please if you want to see pictures and some other things please sign into facebook and look up Janna and I.
Summer holidays have been flying by and so far I have made two trips to the beach. One with the kids and I and one with my friend Paul to see if it was feasible for the high school to hike to a beach during the first week of school.
The kids and I had an absolute blast. We went out during the day and had a great time snorkeling and playing in the water. Then when it was time to set up camp we all got under our mosquito nets and tried to sleep. Sleep came easy for the kids as I just sat awake marveling at God's amazing creation. Then at 12:30 we were woken up by water on our faces and sleeping bags. The wind and ran were blowing so hard that our mosquito nets were completely horizontal and the rain was falling horizontally. It was amazing. The kids were completely soaked and we were laughing and trying to keep warm. Of course a dad who is always out for adventure does not enjoy the negative and so we were making everything fun. Now the wind and rain made us frozen. So i covered Jalen in a couple of towels and put him on a chair. Kaya I wrapped up in my rain ponco and then covered our sleeping bags as best as I could with the rest of the ponco. Then we talked about God and His power and just the adventure that He had led us to. I had an amazing time!! Kids are awesome. Then we slept a little the rest of the night and woke up and played the whole next day with friends and of course mom who had come the following morning.
God is good, All the time. All the time God is good. Don't forget it!!I
