 When we were flying the rudder jammed so we had to jar it to get it loose, that was a treat!



 God opened up the clouds so the pilot could see the air strip!


 Pigs visited us often
 First Night at house
 It rained every night and this was a nice puddle over my hammock
 Very large bug I stepped on
 Rich in the morning
 How I slept
 Rich pretty much describes how hard the wood was and the difficulty we had
 Hiking up to get water
 Water out of the hills
 Neighboring Missionary Air Strip
 Getting a load of plywood dropped off.

 Installing cross bracking on posts.

 Kids carrying wood to missionary partners down hill that are also building.
 It got pretty cold at night so the stew was yummy.
 Creek by the house


 The kids pretty much came by every morning
 One day they came and sang by the house come to find out it was cause they were so excited that we were there building.
 I got this pig or "wom" tooth from sedanuce.
 Sedanuce
 Toilet and Toilet Paper holder
 
 Don't worry we got this straight.
 Snake the tribe caught, not poisionous.

 Kids helping move the roof tin
 Monte is the little girl in front of me she would visit me often.
 Evan showing the kids how to put gaskets on the nails for tin roof.
 Rich had given the kids a frisbee and they were having fun throwing it.

 Who says you need a ladder?  Don't worry I'm OSHA approved.
 Taking break at creek.
 Tribe learning guitar

 Thought this was a cool view



 Shower
 The tribe would bring us food often, squash, sugar cane, and peanuts.
 We spent a couple days in mud putting up cross bracing
 This lady is carrying a bag of peanuts


I didn't need this anymore





 Didn't need my harmonica anymore traded for a necklace
 Tribal house
 
 The women and men sleep in separate huts, and they also sleep witht he pigs and the huts don't have chimneys so it can be very smoky.

 Saying goodbye
 Back in sentani, moped party of 5?
 I liked this picture of Raquel, Gideon, and Roman
 We had an oppurtunity to go to Jayapura which was cool.
 We ate at a fish restaurant I had the big red one. 





 We then went to the mall and this didn't sound too appealing.
 We drove past a croc farm it was crazy!

 We were able to go to a beach on an island! and this is the place where we had to take a boat to get there.










 For my lovely Bride.

 Thats it, it was an amazing trip but there is still a lot that needs to be done, and a lot of people that need to be reached with Gods Word!
