Every fall, the students at Binimea – the mission’s school here in Chihuahua – take time off from normal classes for Spiritual Emphasis Week (SEW). For the junior and senior high, this entails a week-long trip out to a remote mountain retreat. There, surrounded by the beauty of God’s Creation, guest speakers present a series […]

Quick Update: Eastern Washington

Quick Update: Eastern Washington

Just over a week ago, our family arrived safely in Washington State after nearly a week’s travel up from Chihuahua. As John and Maria (Amy’s sister) Van Wormer are moving back Stateside from Mexico, we had the privilege of helping by bringing some of their belongings with us. It’s wonderful to be with our friends […]

Home Again

Home Again

Last month, three other missionaries and I traveled to Las Moras on a work team. This was the first return for anyone from our family since we left in June of 2021. After leaving, mold needed only a few months to take over our mountain house (rain and termites made appearances, too!) – and even […]

Desert Rains

Desert Rains

Putting Ferndale and Washington State in our (literal!) rear view mirrors this July came at a cost for our family. It seemed we had just re-acclimated to being with family and friends for the ‘regular’ parts of life… such as birthday parties, soccer games, and quiet morning lattes. Leaving meant a return to scratchy phone […]

Facing Changes

Facing Changes

Last year, our family left the mountains of Mexico in unexpected and rather sudden fashion. Our field leadership, concerned both for Amy’s health and the degree of ongoing stress affecting our family, sent us back to the States for a medical leave of absence. The departure process felt like a whirlwind as we packed, planned, […]

Prayer: A Visit from Friends

Greetings from… Ferndale, WA (wow – that is not the typical opening to one of our updates)! Amy and I have a quick update to share, and a request for timely prayer. Our time in the States has, overall, gone well. We are learning much, working through a variety of health issues (several revealed while […]
