Everything’s bigger? Maybe…

We just returned from an amazing trip to Brenham, Texas. Bob, one of our supporters, not only gathered an astonishing amount of hand tools for our ministry, but he also spent several days teaching me various elements of woodworking, joinery, and construction. I did my best impersonation of a Bob-Vila-shaped-sponge (that’s not a thing, is […]

An Irreplaceable Resource

An Irreplaceable Resource

Throughout our Tribal Tech class at the Missionary Training Center, we were constantly told that time is an irreplaceable resource.

I actually miss our language helper, Kinosi! We learned so much about the Dobu culture during our class, […]

The Summer and The Future

Here’s a quick update on the rest of our summer plans…our finances and future plans. Summer: New Heights Church has been awesome and provided us with a house in Fayetteville for the summer, which we moved into on Monday! Thanks for the help arranging everything, Karen and Ruth! We’ll be in Fayetteville until early August. […]

In the land of lakes, badgers & cheese…

Well, we just got back from a week in Wisconsin…and it was way too short! We got to stay with our friends, Mark and Marilyn Ford (and their beautiful cats…Lael was in heaven)! We also saw a ton of friends from Brooklife Church and got to worship in the new (well, it was new to […]
