A Glimpse of Home Life

Cassidy • September 6, 2022

Oftentimes, I neglect jumping on the blog to write a quick story, or quickly posting a few photos on Facebook, because I feel like our lives here are so different and I haven’t posted often enough for anyone to be able to really understand.


But I want all of you who are family and friends and supporters to be able to have a context for our lives here! I want you to remember us in your prayers because we need it every day.


So for today, I will post (some un-posed, all un-filtered, some blurry) snapshots taken throughout my day these last couple days and you can at least get a glimpse through my eyes and a quick update on us.

Laundry: Weaning and/or the stomach bug that passed thru here = lots of dirty wet diapers for this baby. During the week of diarrhea, she was happy and content, but she sure did require lots of bathing, washing, hanging laundry, and stuffing diapers.

Saturday is a local "market" day and I can't physically hold Annie, get money out of my bag, and put vegetables into my bag. So Annie sits with Dad and visits.

After a couple days of throwing up last weekend, we went to the waterfall on the boys' first healthy day. They were able to walk there and back, but at the waterfall they were too tired to play, so we sat and chatted.

Sick again. Her belly was so uncomfortable she wasn't napping well, so I put her on my bed and patted her bottom while trying to write an email.

Zach teaching on Sunday afternoons. I am usually standing in back with Annie who likes to yell when there is too much silence. This pic is from a while ago when our coworkers, the Mitchells, were still here.

On our way back from the teaching: Zach entertaining some kids with a trick.

Watching Dad repair a screen.

Laundry, again. Hanging laundry on the line is the reason Annie is usually just wearing a diaper ;)

Last weekend, these boys got it in their heads to type two stories each. They have never done this and they wrote about 4000 words each. SO! This week we skipped dictation, writing, and narrations in school. Win.

This girl loves corn from here so much that we save it for dessert. She doesn't have ANY teeth yet, still, so she just sucks and gnaws on it.

Sick again. There are kids with colds everywhere and it is nigh impossible to keep Annie from the germs.

Unable to agree on how to pose for the picture.

My view right now. This is the cost of writing a blog - give the baby all the markers to dump on the floor and try to buy yourself 20 minutes.

I'll finish with this pic of my friend holding my other friend's baby, because sleeping babies are the cutest.

This girl is three today! We celebrated with cake and presents and phone calls. Sadly, she had a tummy bug, so she spent much of the day heading back to bed to rest, but true to character, she was a happy girl nonetheless.

As you may have read in our email update, we were able to host Scott Maxwell and Uriah earlier this month!

This is Oliver and I am writing my first blog. Today Jude and I went on a hike with my dad's language helper, Giye, and his sons. We hiked from our house to Giye's pig house. A pig house is a second hut they build to look after their pigs.

When our boys learned to read, we encouraged them with the words of our pastor: "Now you can hear from God yourself!" Learning to read means we can read God's Word, the Bible. What's why we need a strong literacy program here in the village! Oliver began reading the Bible right after his sixth birthday: February 2020, with a Bible given to him by his Aunt Sandy. In these 4 and a half years, he has plodded well, and on the 18th of October, 2024 he read the last chapter of Revelation! This is cause for celebration in our family. He had picked out a new Bible in the US and we gifted that to him and ate cake. The next morning, he began his second reading through the Bible. How different his understanding of Genesis must be at ten years old versus six!

Our mission organization, FinisTerre, recently sent a new family to do ministry in Madang. The Ruscios only arrived in PNG in July, so they are just starting to learn PNG culture and the trade language. As part of their orientation, they came up to stay in the bush for a week. We SO enjoyed getting to know them. Frank and Jacklyn have three boys and a girl, so it was a fun week for our kids, too! Eki gave them a proper welcome:

We have been back in the village for almost a month now! It has been a season of adjusting physically (cloth diapers, cooking, laundry...!) and relationally, doing the final unpacking/minor projects, and getting back to work. We are well, we are grateful, and we are moving forward with ministry! Here are some pictures. Jude and Oliver recruited some old friends to build a little shelter:

Much has happened in the last two months. Zach, Bryan Twombly, and Brett Stuart flew to the village in May for Zach's LAST build trip. They finished plumbing, painted the whole house, finished cabinets, and moved all our personal bins and furniture inside.

Happy birthday to Jude! Jude is the man. Quite literally. Our first born officially no longer qualifies for children’s fares on airlines or anywhere else such discounts are offered. He is certainly growing—now a towering 1,486mm (that’s 4 feet 10.5 inches for those not in the metric world). Jude does everything at full speed. He reacts quick to situations (too quick at times). And his reactions are big, be it big joy or big disappointment. He reads at blinding speeds and seems to finish a book a day. His consumption of food has started to rival his dad’s. He loves spice and lots of it — he’ll add buffalo or sriracha sauce to just about anything. He loves salt, butter, tacos, dessert, and dreaming about American fast food. Jude is a lover of people and adventure. He is quick to make friends with anyone his age, and usually leads the charge in whatever shenanigans they set their mind to. He notices when people are happy or hurting and intuitively knows how to sympathize. He has embraced life next the ocean with all the exploring, fishing, and snorkeling it has to offer. Jude is also growing in wisdom. He reads the Bible every morning and thinks deeply about eternal things. It has been so exciting to see the Lord growing Jude in his faith and repentance — especially as Jude faces the challenges of living overseas with a greater understanding of the costs. We love this buddy!

Thank you for praying for trip 9. The team from Countryside in TX were able to do so much! It was not only productive, but spiritually encouraging to have those guys visit and help.

Thank you to all who had prayed for the last build trip! With the three guys from Orland, the floor, frame, and roof were finished on our new house:
