This week I’m thankful for: The good trip we had to a village where we have coworkers. The privilege to be here with them. They are working so hard to start teaching the beginning of 2021! That we were able to travel as a family this trip. The kids have been enjoying playing with […]

This week I’m thankful for: The good trip we had to another town. We arrived without any problems. The pick-up ran well, the road was in solid condition, and we’re all healthy. Some rest. We arrived here at another guesthouse on Sunday. The last few weeks have been busy, so it’s been wonderful to be […]

I know this is late, it was a full week! I know I mentioned it last week, but I’m thankful for the 4 wheel drive being fixed on our truck. One of our co-workers broke down on her way to the village. Cameron drove out, and after not being able to fix it on […]

The Next Adventure Awaits!

November 19, 2019

Moving to a new country I’ve never been to. Still don’t know where we’ll be living. Haven’t met anybody in person that lives in the town we’ll be living in. “It’s an adventure!” I say to myself. “It’ll be fun!” I say, as I try to muster up enthusiasm in myself. While thinking of it […]

August 12, 2019

Even though we’re back in West Africa, we’re not at our “permanent” (I wonder how long you have to be somewhere for it to be considered permanent) location yet. Changes aren’t new to us and as we’ve live this transient life of ours, I’ve learned some things that have helped tremendously. So, in no particular […]

Arrived and Getting to Work

July 15, 2019

Just a quick update to let everyone know we arrived safe and sound last week! Other than lack of sleep our trip was uneventful. Cameron is already overseeing two projects here while we work on figuring out when we’ll move and which town we’ll move to. We’d appreciate prayers as there will be a lot […]

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 […]
