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

Off to California!

Tomorrow we are off to California for a quick visit to see my (Gavin's) side of the family as well as our home church on the West Coast.  We are taking Isaac, Seth, and Grace with us while some close friends/family watch the other three.  It will be wonderful to be able to get at least a few of the quints to meet my family.  We considered, very briefly, taking all five of them with us on the airplane.  Once I recovered from the catatonic state into which that thought plunged me, we reassessed what we would be able to do just with us two adults and Isaac.   It will be our first time on an airplane with more than one baby, so we would highly appreciate your prayers for traveling mercies as we go-- not just for us, but also for those in nearby seats.

Seth has been off oxygen again for about a week now and is doing very well.  We will be at higher altitudes on the airplane and in the mountains, so please also pray that his good oxygen saturations continue.

Isaac is very excited to be getting together with his cousins whom he hasn't seen since last year.  Even more exciting for him is that they are going to take him with them back up to Oregon for a few weeks after Carrie and I head back to Texas with the babes.  Good times!

Thanks to all!

Will and Isaac hanging out
