THANKS FOR CONTINUING TO PRAY FOR OUR VEHICLE SITUATION

THANKS FOR CONTINUING TO PRAY FOR OUR VEHICLE SITUATION

We want to say a HUGE thank you for praying for our vehicle woes. Brian did some math yesterday and realized that our car has driven an average of about 24 hours/week for the past 6 weeks, and we’re still keeping that pace! When we asked you to pray about this, it seemed nothing could […]

Keeping the Main thing the Main Thing

Keeping the Main thing the Main Thing

I don’t like writing updates like this. I like the updates where we get to tell you about the translation that’s happening in one of our villages or how a certain people group is hearing the Gospel for the very first time! Those things are fun to write about because that’s why we are here…and […]

The Helicopter Arrives This Week!

The Helicopter Arrives This Week!

We returned to the Philippines on New Year’s Eve after being away from our regular ministry for a year of training. That was just three very short months ago. We have been getting things ready for the arrival of the new helicopter. This has been more challenging than we thought. Of the 90 days that […]

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY…

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY…

Today marks the one year anniversary of when Brian started his helicopter training in Arizona. We left the Philippines for a short, 4-month home assignment in March of 2014, and it has felt a lot like the 3-hour tour that Gilligan and friends left on! It has not been what we expected, but it has been […]

Maycie’s homeschooling has been really fun and it’s so exciting to see her learn new things and grow. While we haven’t been doing much formal schooling for Dylan, he sits in on a lot of Maycie’s school and I am just blown away at how much he gets from it. What is even more amazing […]

Typhoon Haiyan

We have not done a very good job at sending out updates on our situation here in the Philippines and for that we apologize. Ever since typhoon Haiyan reduced the middle of the Philippines to rubble we’ve been swamped trying to coordinate help for our own missionaries. Once they were all safe and accounted for we […]

Five Years!

We are coming up on five years of being here in the Philippines! Wow, I can hardly believe it! Just for fun, here’s a little bit of a recap of SOME of what has happened in the last five years – and this is just scratching the surface! As we look back, we have had a […]

Renewed Focus

Renewed Focus

I think too often I get caught up in being a good “pilot’s wife” – especially when it gets busy. I want to do my job well so I work hard at having a weather report ready for Brian when he calls over the radio and making sure the guesthouse knows when a flight didn’t […]

“Normal” Missionary Kid

“Normal” Missionary Kid

While it’s a bit of a contradiction of terms to use “normal” and “missionary” in the same sentence we are trying our best to help our kids know what it is to be American and also to help them embrace their life here. It’s a challenge but it also comes with some pretty fun times. […]
