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 Carrie

 Thank you all so much for praying! My sleep study on Saturday showed terrible sleep (90 minutes total in lab conditions - those wires are awful!) but I have no apnea or heart, lung, brain, airway issues or anxiety during sleep. I mentioned today to the doctor that my “air hunger” awakening and resulting agitation has only been an issue at 5,000 feet altitude (where we live). He suspects this is a post COVID syndrome/symptom and should get better in 2-3 months from now (4-5 months from having COVID). He assures me it WILL go away. I just hope and pray that it happens SOON, and in fact, that it doesn’t come back at all. I’m relieved that I don’t need a machine for the rest of my life, although I was a bit disappointed that I can't go back with a “sure” fix. We really appreciate your prayers for grace and strength and sleep. I’m looking forward to getting home to my family!


Again, thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I should be back in PNG with my family on Thursday night.

In Christ,

Carrie
