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

Seth Thursday afternoon.

I'm sitting in the San Francisco airport, about to board the last leg of my journey.  This has been a LONG Thursday.  I left PNG on Thursday morning about 30 hours ago and it's still only mid-afternoon on the same day!

I've gotten some news from Carrie.  Seth is doing well today.  He was needing a lot of oxygen to keep his saturations up, but then they discovered that his nasal passages were really clogged up.  They were able to clear them out  quite well and his oxygen requirements went down significantly (from 2 liters to 1/2 liter).  He's on a diuretic to get water off his lungs.  His tests came back positive for rhinovirus and negative for bacterial pneumonia.  He's in good spirits and, Lord-willing, will be home soon.

Thanks to all for your prayers and support for the family while I've been away.  It was a very good, productive trip.  It was hard to leave the place and community of PNG, but will be wonderful to see my family again.

In Him,

Gavin

    You and Carrie are not finished with your work in PNG, you'll be "home" there soon. God needs you both there! I hope your able to get some rest tonight and gain some semblance of "time" again, it has to be tough traveling from day to day and not seeing time pass! It sounds like your family will be extra happy to see you tonight....welcome home!
