Sue says: It's a blessing to get to know our new student cell group for this year. We do a variety of activities together. One week we played volleyball with another cell group. In the picture above, our students are in the foreground. The score of the game wasn't kept too carefully. It was more a matter of having fun together. You can see our weather is spring-like (all year round) with green grass and delightful blue skies with fluffy clouds.
Another week the students volunteered to come to our house to help us clean up our yard. You can see them cleaning out the drainage ditches (which carry away the abundant rainfall) and weeding in our garden. Notice the corn getting pretty high in the background! Green beans will start bearing soon too. It's pumpkin season now. I just cooked a big one for pumpkin bread and cookies.
This week we wrote notes of encouragement to two students on internship. One is serving in his church in East Sepik. The other is teaching at a Bible college in Western Province. Many times the students have quite an intensive training in their internship. These letters help them continue in stressful times.
Our current cell group leader was serving his internship last year at a Wesleyan Bible college. He was teaching classes, running the bookstore, and keeping the accounts for the college. On week-ends he preached. He knows how much notes from the college meant to him, so he's steering us toward writing too.
