This past week, our neighbor took the wall off the house and we were surprised to learn that we have been living next door to a pot attic and didn’t even know it. Coming from Washington, you would think I would be quicker to clue in. Our translation consultants, Bob and Jogvan, arrived and we […]

One of our prayer requests last week was that we would be able to get back to the village. Thank you for praying. We made it out a day later than scheduled and were very happy to be home because we had a lot of rocks to float. Not only did we want to do […]

This past week, Heidi and have been at our support center working on reviewing our translation consultant’s comments for Romans and Ephesians, correcting the translation where needed, and then adjusting the back translation to match. It was a happy moment when we got to the end and emailed everything back to the consultants. There is […]

After a few difficult months in town and surgery to repair two broken bones, Aileen has recovered enough to be able to be back in the village. She flew in on the day Heidi and I began our journey to Thailand to attend meetings. Our pilot did a very good job of getting us out […]

Dear Friends, Thank you for praying for us. Our kids are all safely back in the USA and Heidi and I are back in the village. We are glad to be here, even though we only have ten days here before we will be traveling to some meetings in Thailand. One of the reasons we […]

Last week the guys finished the first installment of the retaining wall.  The men really worked hard and got a lot done in one week. It is great to see some important projects getting done. The big event of the week was the Christmas program.  It was a very nice program and we were glad […]

You can only see the first 12 inches of termite damage on our co-worker’s house post, but it actually goes up four feet. These nice guys are ready to help fix the problem. Meanwhile, at our house, Heidi is working with these ladies going over a rough draft of the book of Ephesians. It only […]

Wet Season is here along with dark and rainy nights, so when the dogs start barking like mad and you see lots of flashlights heading up the path, it can only mean one thing; Christmas carolers. As they go from house to house, they are collecting donations of glutenous rice (used for making desserts), coconuts, […]

Nine days ago, Heidi and I brought a little girl and her family out to town so that the girl could have surgery to repair a ruptured eardrum that hasn’t healed naturally. We were hoping that the surgery would take place soon after we arrived, but the doctor had to postpone it, so it didn’t […]
