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

Please pray for sick Seth

He's got a bad cold with cough. His oxygen saturations are doing fine, thank God, and we pray it stays that way! The other babies have runny noses and are REALLY cranky (all but Grace, as usual - she just goes with the flow, happily jabbering and dancing her way through life on her little tippy-toes). The kids' crankiness makes it hard on us parents in our busyness. However, I am done with my part of the shipment preparation (at least I think I am), so that gives me more time just to cuddle. Aunt Sam left today - sniff! - so we miss her already. Gavin is pretty intensely busy, so please pray for rest and stamina for him. Marcie was up until 12:30 last night, crying, and David was up screaming before 7 this morning. :} He screamed quite a while tonight, too. I can tell they know something is up. I'm SO thankful for helpers and naps!!! I need to have calm and good cheer to help the babies along, poor little tykes.

Love and gratitude!
Carrie

On a walk with his therapist yesterday. His foot and gait are getting better and better, even without the brace on him yet!


He was crying for some reason, so she's encouraging him along. It's so cute I had to include it. :)

      Thank you, and blessings on you as you continue to unpack. Moving is such a strange, emotional, exciting, exhausting time, isn't it? I am trying to take it one bite at a time so I don't get super backed-up and overwhelmed and hit the airplane trip completely done in already!! :} Love, Carrie
