A Trip or Two

/ john & brena

Trip #1: Luke and eight other band students had the privilege last month of traveling down to Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, to help teach some beginning band students. This band was started by Luke’s teacher, Marlene Schutter. They traveled by van and plane and from all that we heard, they had a really fun and memorable time. Not only did they help teach but they performed several times, ate out at restaurants, and even went to a very western mall! We’re thankful God gave Luke this opportunity and that it was inspiring to the young students who are part of the first band in a PNG school. One of the students, after hearing our kids play, said “I’m going to practice a lot!” :) So thank you for praying!

Trip #2: John and I (Brena) have the very special opportunity to travel to the States (Texas) tomorrow to attend 5 days of Seed Company meetings. This is the first work trip I’ve ever been able to take with John and the fact that we’re heading back to the States so soon after arriving, seems very unreal to me! I’m thanking God that not only will John and I be able to make this trip together, but we’ll be able to see some extended family and our very own Grant over the Thanksgiving holidays! How great is that?!? We’ll be gone 2 ½ weeks. Joey, Luke and Kairu will be staying in different homes, so please pray for them while we’re away. I’m sure they’ll keep busy with school and soccer.

And thank you for praying for rain. It’s rained a number of times in the last couple of weeks!

  5. Have a safe trip to Texas and Happy Thanksgiving. I will keep praying for rain even though you have gotten some. We arrived home from San Jose del Cabos on Monday and a temperature of 82 and today Wednesday we have snow. Glad the band trip turned out so well.
