Advanced Potty Training

Advanced Potty Training

We bought a book not too long ago and attempted to potty train Maycie in “3 days or your money back.” Amazingly it worked and she doesn’t even wet the bed unless we let her tank up on water before bed. It is really nice to have her able to do her business on her […]

Generation Gap is Bridged

Thank you so much for all your prayers regarding our current blackout situation. The blackouts continue their schedule every single day for about 3 1/2 hours and often longer and more frequently than that.

Waffle Iron Fixes a Generator

So here I am, typing in the dark using a battery backup for the computer, but tonight we are not sweating like crazy and wishing we were dead.

Here’s the Power!

Thank you for praying! Within a day of asking for your prayers on our behalf for a generator to use during the power crisis here, a good friend and co-worker of ours responded and offered to lend us his generator for the months we will be without power here. The great thing about this is […]

Where’s the Power?

Where’s the Power?

We have lived on Mindanao long enough to understand that the power company is doing their best to keep up with demand and has exceeded our expectations by keeping the power on most of the time. In fact, we were only loosing power maybe once a week for a few hours and that was it. […]

A Big Push. A Big Reward

A Big Push. A Big Reward

We are finding that we are part of a life that comes in cycles. We go through slower times and then we go through crazy times. This is the tail end (we think) of one of the crazy times. Thanks for praying for us over these past two weeks. There was an 8 day stretch […]
