A lot goes into preparing to head back to West Africa. We have to make sure we’re ready in all realms. Passports, visas, and other paperwork all up to date? Up to date on required vaccines? Clean bill of health from the doctor? Do we have all the necessary books for homeschooling the kids? Have […]

Keep Me Burdened

March 21, 2021

I look at the delicate little girl sitting at my kitchen table. Will she ever hear the Gospel in a language she can understand well? If so, will she accept it? Will she be able to marry a believing man? Will she have children that she teaches about Christ? ***** I hear the wailing. It’s […]

Thankful Thursday #7

February 12, 2020

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.

Thankful Thursday #2

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 […]
