So long neighbours…
We have 2 expat neighbour families here in Telefomin. We returned home just in time to say hello and goodbye to our Aussie neighbours who are heading on their extended Home Assignment for 6 months. We’re going to miss them!
Praying for Students Exams
At Church today we prayed for local school kids who have their important end of year exams in the next couple of weeks.
Introducing the Newest Member of our Family…
This is Daisy, our new puppy who joined our family on 22 September. We think she’s only about 4-6 weeks old, so we’re giving her medicine and feeding her up before puppy training starts in October!
Happy PNG Independence Day!
We’re really glad to be back in Telefomin to celebrate the 47th Anniversary of PNG’s independence!
We are finally Home!
It’s so nice to be back in our home in Telefomin, we were greeted with smiles and flowers when we landed, and found more decorations around our front door. It’s been a busy few days unpacking and doing some maintenance, but we are home now!

Sharing about our work in PNG
Our time in the UK and Canada has been very busy but a real blessing. If you were unable to hear us share about our work, here is a video of one of our presentations.
We’re back in PNG!
It was an emotional journey, but we made it on 4 flights and we’re in Mt Hagen, where MAF’s HQ is. Thank you so much to everyone who spotted our urgent call for prayer, God answered, we made it all the way with all 7 of our suitcases!!!
Farewell Canada…
This evening we start our long journey back home to PNG. We take off out of Calgary just before 8pm and are due to arrive in Mt Hagen late Monday night Alberta time, which will be Tuesday lunchtime, PNG time, after 4 flights! We can’t wait to get home!

Sorry it’s been a while since we’ve been in touch…
Washing the Balus
There are 2 aircraft based at Telefomin, and with the majority of the Bush airstrips that we serve being grass, the planes often get muddy, which keeps the base staff busy washing them.
Welcoming friends home
When we visited Goroka last week we were fortunate to be there when 2 MAF families returned to PNG.
They were flown home by a Mt Hagen based plane, we had one of the Telefomin planes and Goroka has 2 planes of their own, so we had 4 MAF Caravans in Goroka at the same time (for about 30 mins), a very rare sight.
