This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

Sleeping in Sevierville, TN

We got a later start than planned (but not much later than expected).  It was great to see my aunt and uncle and cousin in Black Mountain for lunch before we stopped in Sevierville (a couple hours further down the road) for our luggage.

It was good to see Lois and Pat shortly at the hospital where I loaded our luggage.  Pat is doing well and recovering nicely.

Carrie was having quite a few contractions today during the drive and while doing any walking.  There are a combination of things that have added to the contractions-- lack of sleep, dehydration, full bladder, walking.  All of these were factors today.  We'll try to minimize that tomorrow.  It didn't help that we were stuck in a traffic jam for almost an hour with no exits and a full bladder.  The things we don't have control over . . .

Good night.
