Returning to PNG, there were many events that had taken place while away and to catch up on. One surprise I came back to, was learning that my good friend Daniel and his wife Sandra were expecting their third child. Daniel is a Licensed Engineer with MAF and Sandra works in the accounts department at MAF. I wanted to visit Daniel, Sandra and the boys at home before the baby came. But due to the workload the last month and the overtime worked, I just didn’t get to, even after he was born.
1. The Wan family – Daniel, Gregory, Timothy, Jermiah & Sandra
Last Wednesday after work I finally got to visit them, to quickly see them and the new baby. Plus Daniel showed me their new house where they are living, as they moved house as I was leaving for furlough.
2. Jeremiah – he likes feeding and sleeping (he is already a big boy)
He was recently named Jeremiah. There is a bit of a story behind chosing a name and getting to the hospital. Sandra’s labour started late one evening, but continued to stay at home. The next day in the afternoon she was ready to go to the hospital to give birth. Daniel keeps their van at the MAF HQ’s compound as they now live close to work. He went to get the van, only to find it had a flat tyre. He rushed to fix the flat tyre, while Sandra was asking why it was taking so long to get the vehicle. Fortunaley our Aircraft Painter, Nevan was at the hangar and helped Daniel with the flat tyre. Twenty minutes later they were on their way to Mt Hagen General Hospital. Ten minutes at the hospital and Jeremiah was born on the 20/7/10. We give praise and thanks for this little one’s life.
3. Jeremiah & Uncle Matt
