13 hours and still smiling! 13 hours and still awake! Thank you, “Miss Babe” for lunch!  🙂 God helped us find a place with a play area! The new “fort” bedroom that Daddy and the other guys built for them! And a much-deserved resting place for the driver! We are all settled in here.  Hope […]

In five more days we’ll be on our way to Oklahoma for the Linguistics Practicum.  Danica and another student will be meeting together with a language helper and analyzing the Cherokee language.  This is a practice exercise in “the real thing”, under the supervision of our linguistics teacher from MTC. If you’ve seen us lately, […]

We will be in Eau Claire, WI from now until August 11. If you live anywhere in the same state (or only slightly across the borders), and If you want to hear more about what we’ve been doing these past 2 years and about our future plans for ministry in Brazil, WE WOULD LOVE TO […]

We are into the last week of school!  And you should see our house!  Actually maybe it is better that you NOT see our house!  It is a wreck, as we have been pulling things off of walls and shelves, and out of drawers and cupboards.  Every night a pile goes away (to the mission […]

We are on the home stretch of our last semester in the church planting course.  Every day that brings Christmas closer also brings graduation closer; we will be finished on December 22.  (You are all invited to the ceremony, by the way.  Give us a call if you think you can make it.  🙂 ) […]

We love hands-on training!  This week we have plunged into some of the funnest (most fun?) learning experiences at MTC.  Here you see Jevon transferring a GPS coordinance to a map.  (above)  Below you see us trying to figure out how to do triangulation – a compass exercise which can be a great help if […]

Jevon’s parents and sister, Paul, Sheryl, and Melody Rich, are in town. We will all be hanging out at the Poynter’s house on Thursday afternoon from 3-6 pm (until the Salem prayer time). Come hang out with us and meet our parents if you can. We are not cooking a big meal since it is […]

A once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you Elizabeth, Javiar, William, and Hannah for a great week. And thank you […]
