Tips

· You will find a few days you can have leftovers

· I cooked most of the chicken ahead to use in: chicken salad, alfredo, sweet and sour chicken, and stir fry

· I served coffee, hot tea, water and fruit juice with breakfast. Coffee, tea, water, koolaid or lemonade with lunch. Coffee, tea, water, and iced tea for dinner.

· I brought crystal light lemonade, koolaid packets and nestea instant iced tea with me.

· I let whoever was cooking that day decide which fruits and veggies to serve. Each night I just took note of what we had for produce. The lady who will help with cooking can go to the market any day and get more produce. You also will get food given to you on Sundays at church.

House #1,

This is one of the early missionary homes that was built on the station in Kudjip. This house has beautiful wood floors. This house is the only house that has 2 bathrooms.

Hospital maintenance is getting this house ready for teams arriving. One bathroom needs a little work also with some on other minor maintenance. The house is located at the lower end of the station next to Dr. Scott and Gail Dooley’s residence. This house is approx 2400 square feet and consists of large kitchen, large living room/dinning room. 1 master bedroom with private bath. Second bathroom located at the opposite end of house with 2 bedrooms located next to the bathroom. We plan to put all bunk beds in this house for teams coming to Kudjip. Master will have 3 bunk beds for 6 people. The other two bed rooms will have 2 bunks for 4 persons in each room. This will allow us to host 14 people in this house. We believe that this will be comfortable for the teams coming for their stay. We will be cooking in house #2 for the teams.

House # 2

This is a new house than house number one. This house has a big front porch and a gazebo out side That we hope to utilize for eating, devotions, talking and meeting. On the inside we have a good size kitchen not overly big but good size. We will put some more counter space in the dinning room for being able to have more cooks working. It has a good size

living room and three bedrooms. We will make on room with a queen and then pairs of bunk beds in each of the other two rooms that will sleep 4 per room. Behind this house we also have the gardens for the work & witness teams to have some fresh veggies. We will need to buy some at the market also in Mt. Hagen but this will be fun to have the produce close.
