Andrew and Clare Koens: November 2014
http://andrewandclarekoens.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 1, 2014. My official work assignment here in Papua New Guinea involves recruiting teachers. To come and serve at Ukarumpa International School. UIS) We have a huge need for more teachers, so this role is keeping me busy! Although I've been involved at the school for nine years, I have even more appreciation for the teachers now that Levi is a pupil there. We're very grateful that he is able to get a good education at UIS that will prepare him as well as possible for his future. Pray fo...

Andrew and Clare Koens: June 2014
http://andrewandclarekoens.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2014. Here's a picture of the AutoShop Rescue Truck:. Since it got here, we've already been using it a lot, and so far it has performed very well. It's nice to have a truck that actually has enough power to safely pull our crash trailer and which has been set up to be hard to get stuck. It's nice to finally have the right tool for the job!

Andrew and Clare Koens: October 2014
http://andrewandclarekoens.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2014. One morning, early in August, we received word that the bridge leading into the Aiyura Valley, where we live, had fallen down. Naturally, because this sort of thing has a direct impact on the Auto Shop department, we decided to go out and take a look. This is what we found:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Join us on Facebook!

Andrew and Clare Koens: May 2013
http://andrewandclarekoens.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 4, 2013. For the last year, I've been working hard to produce healthy meals. Of course a lot of items have to be cooked from scratch. Our staples from the store are wholemeal flour, eggs, meat, brown rice, vinegar, olive oil, milk powder, tomato sauce/paste, salsa, refried beans, some herbs and spices, and occasionally low-fat cheese. I like to cook big batches of different foods, so the freezer has become one of my best friends (or often, my biggest enemy, as I try to cram everything in)!

Wednesday, February 27, 2013. How Many Missionaries Does it take to Change a Light Bulb? Faced with large electricity bills (often over £150/$200 a month), we decided to follow the lead of other families on centre who have reduced power usage by switching to LED tubes. Here's Andrew (apparently just home from work given the grease smudges on his face! Installing a new LED in our kitchen. Here is a photo of Andrew and colleagues helping. Upgrade the power cables. That bring electricity onto the centre.

Andrew and Clare Koens: January 2014
http://andrewandclarekoens.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 21, 2014. Visas, Visitors and a Medical Update. When are you heading back to PNG? Seems to be the question we are asked most often. Firstly, we are waiting for our new PNG visas to be approved. As the current ones run out at the end of this month. This will take at least three weeks and possibly a lot longer. Secondly, Eowyn is undergoing tests. For a kidney issue that was identified before she was born (technical details of the condition can be found in this document. We'll be moving to...
