Please enjoy a collection of pictures from our last 6 weeks here in Goroka, Papua New Guinea. This time has been very busy as we have been learning a lot from our teammates who are leaving tomorrow. We have learned about running the mission station that we live on, the ministries that have been going on, and even just the basics of living here in Goroka. We are thankful that God has provided many blessings along the way, including good food, good fellowship, beautiful scenery, and days off with great hikes!
