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

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 […]

No Silent Night

No Silent Night

For a people accustomed to hearing from the Lord through faithful prophets, 400 years of His silence must have seemed a near-tangible weight to bear. Despite century after century of idolatrous rebellion, God had always before forgiven Israel when their sins’ consequences brought them to repentance. Even exile from the Promised Land had eventually given […]

A Time to Heal

A Time to Heal

When May arrived, two major events remained on our dry season schedule: a visit from Pete and Liesl Hypki (our itinerant coworkers, now on the field leadership team), followed by a couple weeks on the coast for pre-rainy season repairs and resupply. We greatly anticipated the break from mountain life the latter trip provides, as […]

Yet as we use it to write you, we are very grateful for its availability. Last week, we received word from our normal internet provider that we were […]

Early Evaluations

Early Evaluations

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

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

Christmas Hope

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

Cow Goes Baa

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 […]
