and our hostel kids.

Praise be to the name ofGod for ever and ever;wisdom and powerare His.He changes times andseasonsDaniel 2:20-21a NIV

Can it really almost be springtime at

home in the Carolinas? Our

memories serve us well as we vividly

remember those first warm days of

spring and all the beautiful new

foliage that comes to life with thechange of season. In many ways each

day in Ukarumpa feels like

springtime. God has gifted our lives

here with flowers and plants that

blow your mind, crisp mornings that

require slippers or socks to keep your

feet comfy, and warm and breezy

afternoons that whisk away any

thoughts of the once cool morning.

Though we are not experiencing a

change of season from winter to

springtime we are living out our

greatest life changing season ever as

childrens home parents. We never

could have imagined we would have

eleven children in our care. And to

boot, a son who speaks with a

Jersey accent, one German son,

one Canadian son, and two PapuaNew Guinean sons! Weare a

blended household for sure. But we

are also a united household. Just as

we give of our time and efforts to

serve these kids so that their parents

can further Bible translation

throughout PNG, these kids give

sacrificially as well as they adapt to

what life is like with the Driggers

while being separated from theirfamilies.

On the front steps before church.

We praise God for in His infinite

wisdom He brought our family to

serve here in PNG at this exact time.

We also praise God for uniting your

family with ours to further Bible

translation in Papua New Guinea, and

allowing us to impact the lives of

such fantastic kids along the way. He

is forever good!

Until all have heard,

Marty, Sara and those girls
