Merry Christmas (Eve)!

Merry Christmas (Eve)!

The moon shone brightAnd the stars gave a light,A little before it was day;The Lord our God he call’d on usAnd he bade us awake and pray. The Bellman’s Song, verse 1 The Christmas of 1996 is one of my favorite childhood memories. Each year, my family would drive to my grandparents’ house – where […]

Checking In and Checking Out

This past Monday morning, we took Joel and Lily out of school to renew their Mexican passports. These had needed done for some time – they expired during the Covid pandemic! – and our first attempt a week prior was stymied by paperwork minutiae.

UPDATE (June 7th): we are back on the road again, very tired but mobile and with a working vehicle. The repairs cost a fair bit more than we had hoped, and the more complicated-than-expected work took all day Monday… but they got us out the door by closing time, which enabled us to get a […]

More than a month has now passed since we left Chihuahua, and time continues flying.

Each visit has come to an end […]

Let’s Get Together!

Let’s Get Together!

As noted in last week’s update, our family will hit the road this summer! Prior plans to visit partners living east of the Rockies were thwarted the last three times we hoped to do this, disappointing us all as health issues in particular made postponement necessary. Yet now, with so much improvement on that front, […]

Gearing Up

After several months of searching, God has provided a replacement vehicle for our family – one surpassing what we imagined possible. While it was initially outside our price range, God also provided a local brother-in-Christ who is a gifted negotiator: Victor knocked over 15% off the initial ask! The acquisition involved more red tape and […]
