For the last several months we've been slowly liquidating all our stuff as we're getting ready for our move to Papua New Guinea next January. This last Saturday we had a yard sale and got rid of the last bunch of our unneeded stuff. It feels great!
Noah had a great time visiting with people at the yard sale and playing with things he found. He even watched a customers dog while they shopped :-)
He found a hoof pick and after learning what it was for,
he went around "cleaning" everyone's shoes.
Next, he thought he would try out an old luggage carrier with an old sewing box.
Then he made Papa carry him!
Tiffany, taking care of the cash box and trying to remember how to do basic math! :)
When the yard sale was finished, we took a picture of the inside of our trailer.
When we moved out from Missouri, this trailer was stuffed to the brim with stuff, along with our Jeep and Tiffany's parent's van. Now, look at what is left!!! It feels like a weight is lifted off our shoulders to be freed of so much. Although, now comes the process of gathering those things that we DO need for the field. Things such as solar panels and four years worth of underwear!!!

Dear Tim and Tiffany,
I too am planning a trip and am considering Papua. You are moving for God as I'm looking to speak with him in a way. Paranthetically, i lost an unborn child in a hospital under a doctor's care. The actions of the doctor there in MO were race driven and intentional and almost killed my now ex-wife. enough. no words can redeem or justify these actions. only time and peace.
anyhow, to your move: how have you contacted the Gov't about moving there and how have they accepted your move? Are you buying or renting? how much? do you speak the language. i only know a little korean, japanese and mandarin. Are you familiar with the hindu and muslim religions? have you looked into the wildlife and if so, are there dangerous snakes and what-not?
Whichever island i end up on, i plan on surfing every day, spear fishing for food and living as John the Baptist did in the wilderness. What do you think my odds are of being left alone to do this?
One question> from the pictures it seems you had a yard sale, moved and have unpacked. are you in New Guinea?
