3 Down and 3 To Go - and our Top 10 Furlough Favorites

Well our 6 months of furlough is half over, and as you can well imagine we've been enjoying our time in the US very much. (At least enjoying it too much to spend time writing updates!)

Once we return to Papua New Guinea in January, we'll be plunging back into language and culture study and building relationships with the Akolet people. But for now, we'll entertain you with our very own Top Ten Furlough Favorites.

10. Watching the Amazing Race

9. Discovering new technology (especially the iPod touch - thanks, Mark)

8. Relearning how to drive on the right side of the road

7. Going out for coffee (or going out anywhere, for that matter)

6. Getting the chance to try out catamaran sailing (thanks, Michael)

5. Remembering the wonderful feeling of NOT being sweaty

4. Getting groceries more often than every 2-3 months

3. Seeing friends and family face to face

2. Worshipping God side by side with fellow believers (thanks, Harmony)

1. Having a break from language study and life in the bush

We appreciate each one of you who has stood with us as we seek to bring the Gospel to the Akolet. We will keep you updated as we head back into the bush in January.
