Loading the plane for our trip to the village |
The closest neighboring village is about an hours hike away. We visited a confirmation service there. |
Making friends |
Visiting with our village family |
Wantoat
peanuts are some of the most delicious around! But harvesting them in the hot sun is hard work. |
| Weaving bamboo to make walls for a house |
There is no trash collection service in Wantoat. We dug this hole to dispose of our non-burnable garbage. |
Our village brother, Mutnam, enjoyed helping Danny install our kitchen sink. |
Becca's best friend - a heavy duty wringer! |
"These are ALLLLLL my friends!" |
"Of all the people in the village, my village uncle, Mark, is one of my favorites." |
| "One day I'll be able to sew a bilum (string bag) like my village aunt." |
"I love going with my aunts to feed the pigs." |
"Now that I've learned to sleep in a bilum, I can't get
enough of it." |
"Ahhhhh... Mommy time." |
"I love when Mommy and Daddy read to me." |
Our village kitchen |
| The two-way radio and dining room table in our kitchen |
The middle of our house is one big hallway/office/playroom. |
With some shower curtains from home and a big blue tarp, we've created a nice shower set-up on the porch. |
