New Years Eve was kind of quiet here as I played games with one of the families on campus. Afterward a small group of us drove to a place to watch the fireworks set off at midnight.
On New Year's day I hung out in my apartment cleaning and preparing for a dinner of Pork and Saurkraut..... which has been my tradition for many years. I invited some of my friends from campus to experience a new tradition. It was different for them but they enjoyed it.
Today (the day after) I ran some last minute errands and have been reading and preparing for class. I am leaving in the early morning 3 or 4am for a week on the island of Yap. I will be staying and working with the PIBC mission team while I am there. Apparently also the new governor of Yap will be inagurated this week so there will be many celebrations.
Although Yap is beautiful (I'm told) expect for a few who chose to dive with the Manta Rays there are not a lot of regular tourists in Yap. Apparently you can not take pictures without permission and you can not make a lot of noise.... both things which concern me a bit but I suppose with God's help I will be able to do it.
Hope your New Year is full of God's great blessings upon you and your family.
P.S.
I love and miss you all. Come visit!!!!
