Our list of 24

November 7, 2014

Here is a list to give you an idea of how different things are here in Colombia. Some things remind of us Canada, some things remind us of the States and some things are purely Colombian. We are thoroughly enjoying figuring out the norms in Colombia and trying to become more Colombian ourselves! 1. Shopping […]

Contentment

October 2, 2014

I had a bit of energy today, so that meant clean the house and organize stuff like crazy! As I was rearranging and trying to find places for things and put some more pictures around our house, I was thinking of all the cool things I wish I had to decorate my house. Cool crates […]

Little update

August 29, 2014

Here we are with our awesome Language Helper, learning kitchen dishes and items. She comes to our house four times a week for two hours a day. We love our time with her. We are using a system of learning that is similar to Rosetta Stone, except that we have a live language helper instead […]

A Trip to the Finca

July 12, 2014

On Tuesday we traveled with 6 other people and 2 dogs down the twisty, curvy, mountainside to the old boarding school, or “finca” as they call it, that the mission had. It is no longer the MK boarding school, but we were able to go for a visit. (We even stayed in the house that […]

One Year Ago: Part 2

June 25, 2014

I’m 3 days late due to crazy, unforeseen circumstances, but here is a birthday post for my guy, Jonah! I didn’t know my heart could love another little squishy guy as much as I loved Eli, but as soon as he was born, sure enough, he stole my heart. Jonah is such a happy and […]

Home Sweet Home

June 17, 2014

We are settling in quite well here. We are very thankful for this wonderful house, even though it is quite large and we need to buy lots more furniture. We realized that in four years of marriage, we have never had to buy any of this stuff. We have always lived in furnished houses and […]

Mr. Jonah

June 9, 2014

Well the past week sure kept us busy. I won’t get into all the gory details and I’ll try to be brief, but I’m running on severe lack of sleep these days, so I make no guarantees. You have been warned. Jonah started running a high fever last Saturday. Over the course of the next […]

The Eighth Day

May 29, 2014

Day 8: I think we have already gained weight since we have arrived! The food here is amazing. Arepas, empanadas, fresh fruit juice with practically every meal, awesome rice and chicken dishes, wonderful soup and my personal weakness, fresh baked goods. Now that we feel a bit more confident to go out by ourselves, the […]

We Made It!

May 24, 2014

We made it. Here we are. Ok, now what do we do? The overwhelming task of learning Spanish, setting up house and making Colombia feel like home lies ahead of us. Our first couple of days here have been full of highs and lows. Meeting all the missionaries and getting familiar with our neighborhood has […]

Colombia Bound!

April 25, 2014

These past 16 months have certainly kept us busy, on our knees in prayer and so encouraged by how big our God is and how much he loves us. We are happy to announce that we are now receiving 81% of our monthly support. We are so grateful for everyone who is praying for us and giving […]
