Just married!

March 31, 2010

Many of you have known me as Heather Gordy, single missionary from Georgia, USA to Senegal, West Africa. I left the states with this identity in February of 2009. By the grace of God in His infinite love for us God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, Charles Salobo Badiane. We were married in […]

Stop that Ship!

March 26, 2010

With all the trips to the store and packing it feels like we are leaving and not just our stuff! Considering how stressful and exhausting it has been to get all our things ready to ship, I am very grateful to have the next three months to prepare ourselves! Last weekend we had our much […]

Manuscripts & Makeovers

March 9, 2010

Last week was a good one! I finally started recovering from my illness so Tom, Jude, my little brother Davy & I were able to go on a bit of an adventure one day. The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI has had a special display going on for the last month or so […]

Oh Poo…

March 8, 2010

Sorry for the title… Today I had the surprisingly (??) unpleasant experience of emptying poop out of a toddler potty. On second thought, I do believe that calls for an exclamation mark, or several. (!!!!!!) Yes, Naya officially “took a dump” in her little toilet this afternoon! 🙂 We were hoping that she’d pee, but […]

Bring On the Cloth!

February 24, 2010

Recently we applied for something called a “diaper grant” from a wonderful organization who sells cloth diapers. They have a commitment to help overseas missionaries by giving them cloth diapers. About two months after we applied for the grant we were approved and Jude’s spankin’ new cloth diapers arrived today! This is seriously a huge […]

How Beautiful Are The… Shoes?

February 16, 2010

Things are pretty crazy these days as we continue to tackle paperwork (poor Tom) and begin to dive into the complicated task of packing. As you may imagine, when you are moving to an island half way around the world there are things you would need. Add to this the fact that this island is […]

Oh, the Places We’ve Gone

February 13, 2010

actually, we haven’t really gone that many places. But being that i haven’t written an entry since Thanksgiving, it’s time for a little catch-up. Just a couple weeks after Thanksgiving, our freshman semester ended, and we flew out to Seattle for 3.5 weeks to visit our families and some friends over the Christmas break. Naya […]

Stirred Up

February 10, 2010

Serolin was constantly carrying a burden of guilt and fear, never knowing whether she would be accepted by God or not.

Cotton Fields & Creation

February 5, 2010

Time for us to do some “catch up” blogging! Things got so busy at the end of our trip that we didn’t have time to keep you up to date, so now we will back track to let you know how the last weeks of our trip went! Last we wrote, we were leaving Florida […]

Goodbye, Palm Trees

January 24, 2010

This last week has been a full one! Early in the week we had a meeting with a missions pastor from a church in the area. We sat over chai tea, juice and water and shared him our vision to see the unreached people of Papua New Guinea reached with the gospel. It was a […]
