Adapting to a new country is an interesting challenge, as missionaries Neal and Kristina Campbell are learning in Papua New Guinea.

Neal wrote, "Here are a few things which are becoming normal to us now:


  • Making sure there is always enough filtered drinking water

  • Rinsing the veggies with a little bleach in the water before eating them

  • Always feeling like you need to shower

  • Very loud crickets, frogs, birds and other unknown sounds at night

  • Trying to convert money in my head from kina and toea to dollars and cents

  • Being the minority and having people stare and children touch you as you pass."


As a part of their orientation the Campbells went to a nearby town to shop for groceries, household items, and meri-blouses, the typical long shirt that's most acceptable for women to wear.

Please pray for them as they adapt and learn and grow, that they would be sensitive to God's leading and retain everything they need to.
