We are doing great. The kids did marvelous on the plane ride. They all slept most of the 11 hours and the 3 hour layover in Fiji went good as well. Seemed to not have any problems with thier ears because of the air pressure, Praise God!
It has almost been a week here in Port Vila (Vila town - Bislama) and we are starting to get into a good sleeping habit. For a while we were going to bed at 5:00 PM and getting up around 4:00...ahhhh...:) but we are now in a good routine. The kiddos have been SUPER. Thanks for your prayers!
We are learning Bislama surprisingly fast. I was at the market today while Hought did some internet work here at the Cafe and was able to talk with some ladies in Bislama. They are so helpful with words and it was good for me to practice a bit. Hought is doing AWESOME with Bislama. He talks with the gardner for a couple hours a day and works with him to help learn quickly. I am super proud of him because he thought he would be bad at learning a language. So Praise God He is helping us learn. All in 5 days anyway....we have a long ways to go!
Since a picture can speak a thousand words.....here you go!

Went to the beach and collected hermit crabs and put them in a coconut shell. Gwenny and Si both loved to play with them.

Hey guys! Praise God for his grace to you on your travels. Although, i didn't see much of the advertised "11 hours of sleeping" in the pictures ;) We will definately be prayin for ya, and Laura says that when she reads the blogs now she gets all "misty" (he he, she just told me to shut up). Anyway. Keep the faith!
Nice machete, houghton. You need to use that thing to shave.

Greetings from the Gardner family! We are so happy to hear things are going well. You all look "at home" in the pictures. It is so great to see. You are truly where you are supposed to be(Not that there ever was a question!! :)I can see the Lord working in you and all those you come in contact with. We look forward to many more updates and being able to see God's hands and feet doing HIS work.
Praying his protection, grace and blessings for you.
