Travels

Travels

July 18, 2023

Thanks for your prayers!  I made it through a month of traveling and have now landed where I grew up for a few months!   So where did you go along the way?  Good question!  I helped and learned at a workshop in Ivory Coast.  Then I visited friends in Germany while waiting for a secular […]

I made it! Thanks for praying!

I made it! Thanks for praying!

May 30, 2023

Thanks for your prayers!  My language and culture consultant was out here last week and she said that I’m at the level I need to be at!  (For those of you who know the terminology, I’m at “capable-high”.)  This doesn’t mean that I’m done learning by any means, but it means that I should now […]

A sad way of understanding the world

A sad way of understanding the world

May 11, 2023

This morning Adama* told me something that is breaking my heart and reminding me even more of why I’m here.  We were talking about God, and how He doesn’t need anything.  Adama added that He doesn’t want anything either.  I objected, saying that, for example, God wants us to follow Him. He objected, saying that […]

Pre-K to 1st Grade in 3 weeks

March 21, 2023

How do you like the picture above?  Does it just make you stand in awe of what God does?  No, not yet?  Ok, let me share the backstory, and I think that you’ll be excited about it, too. If you remember, a month ago I shared about a trip I was going to take to […]

I’m leaving on a jet plane . . .

February 21, 2023

In 2015 I was on a People Group Assessment (PGA) trip in a remote corner of Guinea.  It was a memorable trip, what with our car getting a flat tire, so having to take motorcycles, driving through brackish water, falling off motorcycles, and every meal being way too spicy for me to be able to […]

Spell Check

Spell Check

January 28, 2023

I’m a horrible speller. Ok, I’m a lot better now. But I at least used to be a horrible speller. I remember my parents coming home from parent-teacher conferences when I was in 5th grade and telling me how they went. Academically, my teacher had said that I was doing great. (She had other concerns, […]

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Why did the chicken cross the road?

January 15, 2023

If any of you have ever driven a motorcycle among chickens, you know why they created the “why did the chicken cross the road” jokes.  Chickens are just not like the other farm animals that you may see around you as you drive your motorcycle on any given day! CATTLE definitely rule the road, but […]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

December 30, 2022

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I know it’s a bit late for a Christmas letter, so let’s call it a New Year’s letter instead.  How was your Christmas?  Did you get to celebrate with loved ones?  Here we definitely did not have a white Christmas – it was brown as normal at this time […]

Books!

Books!

November 14, 2022

As many of you know, My Language was unwritten until January 2022. Now we have an alphabet and are continuing to work on other spelling rules. Let’s just say that creating a writing system for a language involves a lot more than just an alphabet! If you want to know more you’ll have to write […]

Culture is Broken

Culture is Broken

November 14, 2022

It’s noon and *Ibrahima calls, asking if I’m home.  I say yes.  He follows it up with, “I’m nearby.  Can I stop over?”  (I think he adds that question because I’m white.)  I say yes again.  And I quickly think – hmm, when *Adama called a little after 11 saying he was coming over, I […]
