YOU ASKED: How much?!

August 16, 2013

After we tell people what we are doing and the amount of time and energy it will take to reach a tribe, they inevitably ask…how much will this cost? Our answer…$8,500 a month! When we first got asked this question, we would sheepishly mumble “a lot.” Now, we confidently say it, knowing that no amount […]

You asked: When and How long?

August 6, 2013

Two other questions we get asked is either when are you going, or how long will you be there? We are, Lord willing, leaving in January. We are already in the process of getting rid of most of our belongings to prepare for this. I will just say it’s not easy. All of these memories […]

July 1, 2013

We are starting a new “series” where we will be answering questions that many of you have been asking. If there’s something that you’re just dying to get answered, email us your question and we will probably write a blog about it!

Traveling to and fro

May 20, 2013

We have begun our big south trip! We will be traveling a total of 2,231 miles…36 of driving time. Which we all know for our family of 5, it’s going to take a lot more than 36 hours of driving. Graham eats every 3 hours, so we stop. And by that point, Sophie and Olivia […]

Our visit to MTC

May 7, 2013

Last week we made our first trip with the 5 of us up to the training center in Missouri. It was a good “test run” considering we will be driving to Alabama and Georgia next week! Our friends from church, Andrew and Taylor, are interested in missions, but not sure what that will look like […]

12 Days of Christmas…

January 4, 2013

I know this is a dumb idea, but BJ and I were riding in the car to Oklahoma after a crazy, crazy couple of weeks. We were just talking about all of the different transitions, events, good things, bad things, etc. and I thought it would be funny to make a song out of it! […]

Simple Living Camping Trip

November 7, 2012

[nggallery id=4] I’ll tell you about our camping trip, since Jill might leave out all the “cool” stuff. Part of our simple living was seeing how we would function in the woods for a few days. Our trip began on a Thursday afternoon… Jill, myself, Olivia and Sophie walked down the hill to meet our team. […]

Simple living=Not simple!!

November 4, 2012

Imagine your life…without cell phones, tv, computers, INTERNET (oh no…no facebook, pinterest?!), a car, a dishwasher, a microwave, a toaster oven, a hairdryer (girls!) and straightener, and anything with electricity. Most people reading this are thinking they couldn’t live without it (as I thought the same thing!) Some people are thinking that would be nice…except […]
