Back in December, my faith was tested. I noticed a lump in my breast and of course freaked out. We live in the middle of nowhere and I will have to wait 8 months to get it checked out. Then about a month later I noticed 1, then 2 spots that looked like more basal […]

One Year Anniversary

February 3, 2015

Exactly one year ago, we made one of the hardest decision…to leave America, our family, and everything we know and move to Papua New Guinea to be church planters. This year has been full of tears, joy, hard work to learn a language, lots of prayer, homesick, new friends, lots of moving, more tears, and […]

Day 9 of 21: Building forts

July 15, 2014

How can you have endless hours of fun playing with someone that doesn’t even speak the same language as you?! You can ask our kids!

July 8, 2014

Well, remember my list of the whole month’s supply for food? It got here…most of it. The brownies, chocolate chips, and applesauce didn’t make it, but I think we’ll live. Actually, we didn’t get all of our diapers either and pull ups, so we are trying to see how that is going to work! I […]

Learning the ropes

February 28, 2014

Ants: You see 1 ant, you smash it with your finger. You see a few ants, you just ignore them. You see a ton of ants marching in a line, you spray them with All Purpose cleaning spray and wipe them up! Bananas: Almost every kind of banana that I buy is a “cooking banana” […]
