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

Marcie and school update and possible travel plans!

Thank you all for your prayers! Marcie's surgery went very well and she has recovered quite quickly! She still needs pain medication and rest, but she has been far more active than we expected. 

David and the other kids were eager to comfort Marcie when she got home!



The day after our last post, we were notified that the kids were all accepted to the school that we had wanted to put them in when we first came back. (Isaac went there in second grade when the quints were born.)  There was no availability, but now there were space for all of them! They were so excited today to be able to go to school in person and it went very well. We and Marcie thought she was ready to go to school, but she had a bit of a tough day. We will probably keep her home for a few more days to recover, but they all had fun and did well. We are so thankful for this provision!





Also, we have just heard about a  flight next month with the World Food Program from Kuala Lumpur to Papua New Guinea. The people who just made it into PNG with our mission were on a similar charter flight. Please pray that our family could get on this coming flight! There are a lot of other details and issues to work on in preparation for the departure, should it happen.  

Thank you for your love and prayers!
