It was fun to welcome six new students and their families to our home last night.
Our hospitality night was just to relax together a bit. We started with a mixer of the kind that gets each person asking the others questions about themselves. We found out one student can speak some Motu (a coastal language in PNG) and another has been to the US.
In the picture above, we were enjoying a game of spoons together. The family sitting from the top to the right is from the Solomon Islands. The family at the bottom is from the Southern Highlands. The guy sitting in front of me is from Sepik province, and the one in the chair near him is from the Lae area. (You'll notice the people from the coast are feeling cold in the highlands. They still have their jackets on.) It's nice to have a group from a variety of locations like we did. As with every social night at CLTC, we closed in prayer. The students were thankful that God helped them arrive at the college, and they were asking God to help them to adjust to their new surroundings and to understand English well enough to follow their lecturers and reading assignments. Classes start Monday!
