2018 The Year of Healing

December 3, 2018

Going into this year, we didn’t have any major health concerns in the family, so healing wasn’t really on our radar. I didn’t think I’d spend over a week with my son in ICU. I didn’t think my father-in-law would have an unexpected surgery. I didn’t think my sister-in-law would have a […]

What Are We Doing Here?

August 30, 2018

Furlough, home assignment, whatever you want to call it. People don’t always seem to know what we do when we’re back and why we come back. So I thought I’d tell you what we’re doing this furlough. While not everyone’s furloughs are exactly the same and even our own furloughs will differ each time, here’s […]

Support Network

March 8, 2018

In the missionary world we tend to call people that are not living in a village doing direct church planting work, “support missionaries”. A ton of different jobs are jammed into that little title, but today I wanted to give you a glimpse of a few and how they have affected us since our arrival […]

The Village in Pictures

November 17, 2017

Even though we live in town right now, we’ve been able to make multiple visits to the village our co-workers (Susie and Jen) have just moved into! We’re thankful that their houses were finished in time for Jen to spend a couple of weeks in the village before returning to the States for […]

Guinea Trip

May 15, 2017

So much has happened in the last few weeks, a wedding, we moved out of our rental house and Cameron took a trip to Guinea, a country just south of Senegal. For now I’ll just share a little about Cameron’s trip. A missionary family just moved into the village and their house is almost done […]

Share the Light

April 2, 2017

March…I feel like something that kept coming to my mind in various ways this last month was the importance of sharing the light that I have. One way it hit me was by multiple deaths, none of the deaths were of people we were close to, but we are close to the people that they […]

Onto the Next Step

March 5, 2017

Thank you to all of you who have been praying for me (Katy) to complete the French language program. I have been evaluated at capable-high and am officially done with formal French sessions! Now that both Cameron and I have acquired this level of French, our eyes are even more on Burkina Faso, where we […]

January

February 5, 2017

Hello blog world…let me update you on the major events so far in 2017: A group of students from NTM’s Bible schools and Missionary Training Center came to Senegal to see first hand what mission work is like. One evening we had them over for a Senegalese meal of chicken, onion sauce, fries, salad and […]

Christmas

January 9, 2017

Our Christmas outfits Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years! We did and I thought I’d take a little time to tell you about it. The big event for our Christmas was our church’s Christmas program, which was the Friday night before Christmas. Friday morning I went to church to work […]

Full of Thanks!

November 25, 2016

I love Thanksgiving! This year we’re trying a new Thanksgiving tradition, in honor of Thanksgiving, every night this month we each pick one thing we’re thankful for. Calvin usually picks about three…but hey…can’t be too thankful, can ya? I thought I’d share somethings I’m thankful to God for this year. I’m thankful for this […]
