Just before we left PNG, we went on our Interface Sidetrip. What a blessing to meet Roland and other tribal people who now follow Christ and have known the Lord Jesus longer than I have! Missionaries came to them 50 years ago and they have a thriving church. It was hard to leave.
It was also hard to say goodbye to our language helper Stem and friend Michael. These people truly have become a part of my life.
Well, when we finally got on the plane, we got a little shuteye. We had over 20 hours of flying to do. From Goroka to Port Moresby, PNG to Singapore to Tokyo to Los Angeles.
Just before leaving LA, we visited Manhattan Beach, saw the wildlife and then returned to try and catch our 7:30 standby flight.
We weren't able to get on the flight. So we rented a car and drove the 17 hours home. It was cool. We found these Aviators along the way (ironic isn't it).
The 5 of us (Joerg, Meagan, Kristen, Eric, Josh) had a great road trip home, even though we were already jet-lagged from the flights over.
After arriving in Boise, it was finally time to say farewell to my roommate and friend, Eric. He's back off to N. Idaho and then Wisconsin (on staff at NTBI, Waukesha).
