Choosing to Praise God

Choosing to Praise God

March 19, 2022

Can a local person run a missionary guesthouse?

January 28, 2022

Backyard vs Public Park

Backyard vs Public Park

October 5, 2020

We manage a guesthouse with a small yard and playground for children. We also live on the same center. So in a sense it is like our backyard. Yet, it can also be compared to a public park: free for any guests and our missionaries who live near enough to come and enjoy it whenever […]

Have you ever seen an 8 yr old, 7 yr old and 2 yr old excited about using a drinking fountain? Have you ever seen someone jump up and down over a dusting of snow? Well, I have. My kids are so excited about the simplest things that they “have never” experienced before. Things like […]

Looking back

Looking back

May 22, 2017

We just celebrated the finishing of our formal culture learning time two weeks ago with our team.  It was a neat time to reflect back on what went well or didn’t, what we enjoyed and what was difficult, what we learned, etc.  Our team also gave us feedback as well. I would like to share […]

Feeling at home

Feeling at home

May 22, 2017

When I think of the trials and the difficulties that we have encountered since we first came, it seemed impossible to ever feel at home here.  But it is possible!  After a few months of readapting to the culture and our new apartment and routine I finally felt comfortable a lot of the time.  It […]
