We hope you’re all encouraged and enjoying the Lord’s blessings in this brand new year. Down here in southwest Texas we had a very intense cold spell (for here) right around Christmas time, with 3 nights in a row of temperatures down in the mid-teens. Galilee finished harvesting the last usable stuff from our winter […]

It’s hard to believe we’re already in the last month of 2022! Areli and Tyndale just have two more weeks of school to finish the first semester of their senior and freshman years. They are looking forward to Christmas break. Galilee is planning to take her GED in January to get her high school equivalency […]

Thank you for your prayers over the past couple of months. We were blessed with wonderful rains in September which brought our rivers and creeks back up to their normal levels. The weather then stayed warm enough for us to enjoy swimming, tubing, and time at the river. Just this past week we finally started […]

Thank you for your prayers over the summer. The kids enjoyed their summer break. Areli and Tyndale just went back to school day before yesterday. Areli is a senior now, and Tyndale is a freshman. Galilee is starting to study for her GED (high school equivalency exam) which she hopes to take sometime this upcoming […]

This spring DJ and Galilee went from worrying about possible nighttime freezes to trying to keep their garden from wilting in 100-degree afternoon temperatures in the span of only a couple weeks.  They’ve had their work cut out for them, but we’re getting squash, peppers, lettuce, cilantro, dill, LOTS of cucumbers, etc. now so they […]

Despite two nights with temperatures in the teens in mid-March and several other near-freezing nights since then, DJ and Galilee have continued to make progress in the garden.  We just finished picking asparagus, and tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers are all blooming.  Galilee continues to spend lots of time outside in the garden, as well as […]

Thank you so much for your prayers over this past month.  As we start into March here in South Texas, we are seeing our first few wildflowers, green buds on some of the trees, sweet-smelling yellow blooms on the prickly agarita bushes all over the pastures, and the first of the pink peach blossoms in […]

Thanks so much for your prayers for us over the crazy past year, and in this new year too.  DJ has been in the process of transferring departments within our mission organization, from serving with the field of Asia Pacific to serving in the USA IT department.  Just a few days ago that process was […]
