The Move

Last Saturday our team moved from our temporary rental housing to our permanent housing. The move was successful and went smoother and faster than we could have imagined. As we begin to live and enjoy this new space we continue to marvel at the beautiful haven the Lord has blessed us with.

This is the Masso house. I did not include any pictures of the inside, but if you were to enter you would fine four small bedrooms and a center room for sitting and family gatherings.

This is Bethany and my temporary bedroom until our dukul is finished. Then this space will become the sitting room for Christine and Larissa's dukul. It is quite cozy and I am thankful for the transition from a dirt floor to a cement floor.

This is Larissa's peaceful personal haven.


This is our shared bathroom space. To the left behind the purple towel one would find our choo (or hole in the ground). To the right is our bathing room.

This is our lovely kitchen. For the last year and a half the team has been cooking in tight quarters. We constantly played bumper cars walking in and out as the doorway only fit one person at a time. Now we can move freely around the beautiful island you see and mulitple people can be cooking or washing without being in eachothers way.

This is our dinning area. We will continue to eat all together like one big happy family.


This is our chill/hangout area. And again we can all fit comfortably.

Our new housing reminds me of summer camp. We are surrounded by trees and our sleeping quarters are separate from our bathing and eating quarters. Fun times!

Does this mean that you have an indoor choo?
