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

Update from N.C. and flashback to Camp Sierra, CA

Hi all,

Be assured we're all fine here in Waxhaw, NC. The rain we've had from Florence is much less than we have on a near-daily basis in PNG, we've had no flooding, and no trees have come down. Our power is also intact, and we hope and pray that continues! School was cancelled Friday; yesterday (Saturday) we were advised by the Governor of NC to stay off the road; today church was cancelled; and we just heard from the schools that they are cancelled again tomorrow for the entire county. You can pray for us not to go crazy with cabin-fever! :) The kids are doing really well, thank God, even though they've been inside for 2.5 days straight. Gavin did a family Sunday school with them this morning. It was cute to see them all lined up on the couch listening to him.

These photos are from Camp Sierra in CA this past July. Enjoy! We sure did.

Seth was unbelievably pumped about being in the kayak with Papa! Marcie and Gracie were thrilled by the job of pushing the kayak out into deeper water.

Will and Seth with Papa. Seth is a wild man! He wants to go faster and more bumpy than anyone else, including his own parents, grandparents and big bro. :)

A Camp Sierra tradition continues! Marmi and the aunts, uncles and cousins are on this wall as babies through to a full-grown adults. There's hundreds of names and heights!
