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

My new nephew came early!

My precious, gorgeous little nephew Foster arrived almost a month early, but at 6 lb 14 oz he was no regular preemie! He was more than three of our quints' birth weights combined and is perfectly healthy, praise God. My baby sister has a baby - how crazy that seems to me! She seems like such a natural mommy, like she's always been one. I am so proud of her it almost hurts.

 I want to reach through the camera and cuddle and kiss this little guy! Times like this make it VERY hard to be on the other side of the world, although there are a ton of blessings here, too. But none of them are named Foster, and none of them are this tiny and perfect. I love to just gaze on him. :)



(Okay, seriously: She JUST gave birth the day before. Could she be any more beautiful!?? I was so swollen afterwards!)
