Our Getaway

August 3, 2012

Rachel and I were blessed to be able to spend a night away while the kids stayed with Nana and Bucka this weekend. We had a wonderful time, all things considered, but we did have a few hiccups. Lemme ‘splain: Our plan was to check in to our hotel (the beautiful “Cliff House” in downtown […]

Our Waldo Canyon Fire

July 4, 2012

I just want to write this quick note to let you all know about the fire that hit way too close to home. For those who don’t know, our city (Colorado Springs) was recently on fire. The Waldo Canyon Fire started around noon on Saturday, June 23rd. On the following Tuesday, aided by high winds, […]

May 2012 Update

June 3, 2012

We made it! Well, we’re back in Colorado Springs and none the worse for wear! The actual flight (the one with two nap-deprived children) went about as well as it possibly could have. Asa didn’t like the fact that the plane moved, but he got used to it after a couple minutes and he was […]

January 30, 2012

Here’s a copy of the E-mail we finally sent out: In an effort to not clog up your inbox, it seems like I’ve neglected to keep everyone updated on our lives! So for the speed-readers, here’s the condensed version: Since our last update: We arrived at school and got settled in Stephen had a great […]

First Big Assignment at NTBI

November 22, 2011

Well, I (Stephen) just handed in my first major paper (20+ hours of work), and am pretty excited about it. I’m not sure how I did grade-wise, but I feel like it’s a good paper and worth reading. It’s an exegetical paper, which means that it takes a particular passage (Jude verses 3 and 4 […]

New Bible

October 16, 2011

Well, we’re definitely getting settled in our life here at school. Classes are going well for me, and Rachel is finding more time to do fun things like sewing (she made a ring sling!). Recently I saw that I would benefit from a recent Bible translation with no verse numbers for part of my study […]

Siar encouragement

September 29, 2011

As I’m typing this, missionaries in Papua New Guinea are teaching the lesson on Christ’s resurrection and giving the complete gospel message for the first time, in a language in which it has never before been heard. It’s unbelievably exciting to me, and probably God as well. The president here at NTBI mentioned that this […]

All Moved In

August 28, 2011

Well, we’re moved in and settled in our little apartment at NTBI. We were surprised to have so much difficulty in finding a place to put everything, having come from not that big of a place and getting rid of a lot before we came. But after utilizing 8 school lockers and 2 storage lockers, […]

June-July Update

August 1, 2011

Well, our nomadic summer is finally drawing to a close. I am writing this from the house Rachel grew up in, in Wyoming, Michigan. In two more weeks (on the 13th) we’ll be moving to Jackson to get settled before registration starts the following Saturday. The summer has been quite exciting, and more difficult than […]
