Early thanksgiving!

Glenda has the privilege to teach English to Papua Hope School in Sentani.
She enjoyed it a lot! End of October, her students and Mrs. Brown, her partner in teaching English had an early thanksgiving party.
 
 
Mrs. Brown baked cinnamon rolls while Glenda baked a rocky road Dutch cake.
They also have popcorn which the students greatly enjoyed! The students are very bright.
We, the teachers are very glad to be part of their studies.


Ladies Evening in Papua!

Some group of ladies from different mission organizations in Sentani organized a ladies night to enjoy! These ladies baked different kinds of cheesecake as dessert to share in the evening.
 

Each lady in the mission has to bring whether a pan of soup, bread or salads.  So Glenda brought an Indian curried sweet potatoes soup with coconut milk on it. This soup became the most requested recipe in the evening!

Parties!

We are thanking the Lord for the special blessings He gives to the birthday boys.
 

Yes, lots of parties in the month of September. The two boys' birthday!
This time, Johan invited his whole 5th grade classmates to celebrate with him.
Gertjan organized a big game for everybody. We had 16 people joining in! It was a big crowd.


 
When Gertjan's birthday, I baked a super yummy chocolate cheesecake for him!
He invited his colleagues without knowing that these folks had to bring their wives and kids with them. Ooops! But they all got some cheesecake they enjoyed!
