We are HERE!!!

After 4.5 years of training...the Muellers are IN PNG!

What a sigh of relief.  We are so happy to be here, though we miss everyone in the USA...and we know that God has given us that joy.  We are so thankful!  

I have a few excuses for the lack of communication :)  First of all, adjusting to living here has just been tiring!  The first few days, we were falling into bed by 8 (or earlier!)...and it just takes longer to do everything here.  And my other excuse...let's just say the internet here is NOT like having wifi at home :)  The internet is super spotty, so many times if I would want to do a blog post, I wouldn't even have reception at our house.  Some days are better than others, though!  Today it's good :)  Oh, but I will say--having not-so-good internet has actually been kind of refreshing!  It takes away all temptations of wasting time on social media!

All that being said...we are back to the blogging world, and hopefully we will be able to blog often!  We love and appreciate each one of you, and we want to keep you as involved as possible in what the Lord is doing here in Papua New Guinea!

Here are some pictures from our journey to get here...some of you might have seen some of these pics already if you follow me on fb or instagram.

Daisy was pretty much the cutest traveler ever...with her cute backpack and big stuffed reindeer on her back...

Well, they were all cute :)  And they did great, too!  Such good attitudes!

Of course, it helped that they each had their own tv on almost every flight ...

Yep, Kaine was pretty much in heaven ;)

When we got to the Fiji airport, we knew it would take some answered prayers to get us on our next flight in time.  So...thank you for all who were praying for our connecting flight, because God totally answered them and got us on that next plane!  I had to sit around with my kids for about 1.5 hours while Nathan was running around with a Fiji airport employee...but it all worked out.  Thank you Lord!

Finally boarding our LAST flight!

There was a long line of people in the PNG airport, and they all stared at us :)  Our little blonde girls sure draw attention in this country!  The customs guy was super nice to us, and we got through super quick...

We had to wait in the PNG airport for a couple of hours...we were feeling pretty tired and just gross by this time!  So ready to be at our destination!

Here we are that evening in front of our home (for the next 4 months).  We were all super tired...we got invited to a staff lady's house for supper that night, and our kids were falling asleep at the supper table!  We all slept so great that night!

The next morning, we couldn't sleep past 4:00 am :)  Our bodies took a few days to adjust to the time change, but it wasn't so bad.  More to come!  We are feeling settled, we are adjusting, and we are so excited to be here!  Thanks for praying!
