Baby Skyler!

Our translation team has some beautiful news:

Ryan and Sarah became proud parents of this gorgeous baby boy two days ago on Saturday, Aug 15th! His name is Skyler Troy and they are thrilled along with both sets of their parents, the whole missionary team in Lapoc and ourselves.

Grandma, (Elsa, who is Ryan's Mum) had the joy of coming over to stay with them this month and delivering her little grandson! This made me miss her even more as Elsa and I have delivered lots of babies together.

  

Bugs arrived today to see his new grandson and will stay a couple of days but Elsa will stay a bit longer to help Sarah get on her feet. Ryan is working full time with us on the translation of the Tala-Andig NT and has grown to be an invaluable part of the team in the past 9 months since they arrived in Lapoc last November, 2014.

Please pray for Ryan and Sarah as they adjust to being new parents and as their days and nights take on the new delightful dimension that their Skyler

will bring to them in his unique and individual way.  

  

For the three of us, it is a very special thrill to see Ryan with his own baby boy. We have been second parents to Ryan for his whole life and to Jubab, Ryan is not just Ryan, but Yoyo.....who looked after him when he was four years old and who has always been a great role model. Sky is going to carry on the tradition between his Dad and Jubab and he's also going to call Jubab "Yoyo" (a decision that Ryan and Jubab made tonight by skype.)
