Helping the Church Help the Community

Helping the Church Help the Community

Several years ago the Tala-andig tribal church decided to help improve the living conditions in their village. This was a complicated undertaking since they rarely leave the jungle and don’t have access to some of the basic things we do.  Among other things, they wanted a way to provide soap, salt and kerosene for lanterns […]

Survivor: Road Trip Edition

We ended our roadtrip a couple of days early, on February 12, because we were losing our minds! Not really, but we felt that the kids had taken all the car-seat-time they could handle. We were also feeling a little pressured for time since we have several meetings this week and next week in California. […]

The Long, Cold Road

We left home on January 18th on the day that the biggest snow storm in years was forecasted to hit the Northwest. We had a pretty tight schedule to keep so we decided to inch our way North until things got too slippery. It seemed like we averaged about 30mph from Redding to Spokane, WA […]

Making a Home

We finally made it to California after quite a long sprint to-the-finish in the Philippines. We were very pleased to leave a fully functional flight program in the capable hands of Joel and Missy Davis. The transition took a lot of work, but we were able to make the switch without any interruption in flight […]

It’s a Another Boy!

We are back in California and getting used to living in the States again. There are so many things we are really enjoying and not the least of them is being able to choose a Doctor and hospital for the delivery of our third baby. During Bailey’s recent appointment we had another ultrasound and can […]

How Would You Pack?

How Would You Pack?

We still consider ourselves to be new missionaries even though we’ve been with New Tribes Mission for about 5 years. We had still never packed for the infamous “Home Assignment” and we were a bit overwhelmed at the thought. We needed to pack for 9 months which would include two-months of road trip, travel to […]

Another Pruett Baby

That’s right. We came as a family of three when Maycie was just 4 months old and we’re returning with a 3 1/2 year old, a 1 1/2 year old and another one in the hangar due to arrive in April.  We are so excited about a third Pruett to add to the clan and […]
