Early Evaluations

April 9, 2021

During Amy’s recent language evaluation, our consultant asked her to discuss colors. Looking down at her beautifully patterned traditional skirt, Amy pointed to a section and began to demonstrate her hard-earned vocabulary. “This is yellow,” she said in Nahuatl to our friend Lenny – who had come to help with the evaluation. “And this…” At […]

Cavities and Cubbies

March 5, 2021

Worldwide pandemics have a way of complicating things – including plans for the (mostly) annual dental clinic in Las Moras! Pulling off this year’s edition required jumping through many hoops – including considering PPE access, medical experts’ recommendations, and two nations’ coronavirus responses. Despite these challenges and more, our little mountain community still wanted the […]

Christmas Hope

December 23, 2020

For thousands of years, a broken world waited. When new-Created perfection gave way to sin’s corruption, a promise was made from Creator to Creation – one of hope and redemption, of love and reconciliation. One day, a Son – a Savior – would come. Through Him, what was lost in Eden would be restored: man […]

Cow Goes Baa

December 8, 2020

October was a month of refreshment for our family. While there was no shortage of work – hours of travel, home school on the road, packing and loading kept us quite busy! – the conveniences of city life were a welcome break from our remote daily village lifestyle. Returning home with a load which will […]

Moving Along

October 19, 2020

When writing our last update, the process of moving into our house-in-progress loomed large. Challenges certainly continued to present themselves: a dozen leaks springing (literally) to life one evening, unexpected interruptions abounding, and the polyurethane coating our kitchen counters needing over a month to dry in rainy season humidity! Yet, in the end, we did […]

Busy Season

September 3, 2020

As our family’s first rainy season in the mountains unfolds, life continues moving forward at a rapid pace. At times, it seems that another monumental unexpected shift inevitably follows its predecessor… and were perseverance to depend on our strength, we would long ago have been swept away! Yet God’s faithfulness remains when our strength is […]

Let it Rain

July 20, 2020

We are officially into summer, which means rainy season up here in Las Moras. An opportunity to resupply for the next 4-5 months out here (muddy mountain roads don’t travel easily!) went well, and upon returning we hurried to prepare for the arrival of regular, ongoing rain and thunderstorms. By God’s grace, we got it […]

Teamwork

May 30, 2020

“When life give you lemons, make lemonade!” Familiar words… ones which a new daily reality gives us fresh opportunity to apply in walking with the Lord. Uncertainty and doubt are a natural response to major upheavals in life’s expectations… but in what context do we choose to place them? For the believer in Jesus, our […]

Drywall & Isolation

April 25, 2020

In early March, some of our coworkers came out to help with drywall in our house. Their arrival encouraged us greatly, particularly after the challenges we had faced putting a team together! Our original plan for February had already fallen through – some potential workers were simply unavailable, and unexpected complications forced the others to […]

One Day at a Time

February 29, 2020

Greetings from the mountains! Life continues on one day at a time for our family, as we continue to adjust to life in Las Moras. Being out here has given us a sense of continuity and stability we had long missed, living without a permanent home for over a year and a half! Amy’s recovery […]
