Checking In and Checking Out

Checking In and Checking Out

This past Monday morning, we took Joel and Lily out of school to renew their Mexican passports. These had needed done for some time – they expired during the Covid pandemic! – and our first attempt a week prior was stymied by paperwork minutiae. With additional and corrected documents in hand, Amy and I were […]

Bumps in the Road: July 6

Bumps in the Road: July 6

UPDATE (June 7th): we are back on the road again, very tired but mobile and with a working vehicle. The repairs cost a fair bit more than we had hoped, and the more complicated-than-expected work took all day Monday… but they got us out the door by closing time, which enabled us to get a […]

The Long Way ‘Round: July 2

The Long Way ‘Round: July 2

More than a month has now passed since we left Chihuahua, and time continues flying. Each stop in our journey shares two common themes: the first being that the fellowship was even sweeter than we hoped, full of encouragement in Lord and reminders of His faithfulness. The second? Each visit has come to an end […]

The Long Way ‘Round: June 14

We are a little over two weeks in to summer travel, and already so much has happened! Our family has spent sweet time with friends and family we’ve not seen for far too long, and coming back together to encourage one another with stories of God’s faithfulness has been encouraging beyond words. Beyond the stops […]

The Long Way ‘Round: May 26

We all know that ‘time flies,’ but this past season really lived up to the old adage! It seems like only weeks have passed since the school year began, yet we find ourselves past graduation once more and thanking God for another year of His faithfulness. Before summer hit, we hit a couple noteworthy ministry […]

Gearing Up

Gearing Up

After several months of searching, God has provided a replacement vehicle for our family – one surpassing what we imagined possible. While it was initially outside our price range, God also provided a local brother-in-Christ who is a gifted negotiator: Victor knocked over 15% off the initial ask! The acquisition involved more red tape and […]

Step By Step

Step By Step

Returning to Chihuahua after summer travel, one of my (Jordan’s) primary goals for the school year has been leaning into Spanish teaching opportunities. In Las Moras, I would at times teach Scripture in different contexts… but mountain Spanish, effectively a trade language, is quite different from what is spoken elsewhere. Adjusting back to ‘city’ Spanish, […]

On The Road Again

On The Road Again

Our family always looks forward to Ethnos México’s biannual field conferences. The kids love laid back time with friends right after the school year ends, alternating between VBS-style classes and time poolside in the summer heat. For Amy and I, the short week is a rare, precious chance for fellowship with our far-flung coworkers in […]

Summer is Coming!

Summer is Coming!

Back in February, we mentioned a series of seven upcoming CLA evaluations: check-in milestones for newer missionaries studying Mexican culture and Spanish. One family’s medical situation delayed their evals (everyone is okay!), so only the first five were completed on that schedule. I ended up reviewing those eval recordings for four hours on the road […]

Role-ing Along

Role-ing Along

Over ten years ago, our family stayed with Amy’s parents while raising support for ministry in Mexico. I had always enjoyed Rob, my father-in-law – but after living in the same house for several months, I found his love of pun-making was unexpectedly coming out in my own speech patterns. God’s Word repeatedly points out […]
