Train Up A Child

February 18, 2013

As our family prepares for ministry in Mexico, we continue to focus on ministry in the home – in other words, teaching our kids about Jesus! As incredibly excited as we are to share the Gospel in a different language and culture, our first priority will always be to reach the wonderful children God has […]

Unfinished Business

January 6, 2013

For the Husband family, Christmastime came and went happily. We rejoiced as we celebrated the hope we have in Christ, given to us by God over two thousand years ago. And, rather than just returning to ‘normal life’, we hope to see “…the joy of Christmastide / within our hearts this year abide.” Jesus’ birth […]

Payson, AZ to Santa Monica, CA

December 11, 2012

Trip so far: 79hr 34min, 5506.7 mi Sunday: 7:00am CST to 4:00pm PST Despite the slight delay in this update, we did in fact make it safely to LA on Sunday! Our temporary residence is Internet-challenged, so it’s taken me a little more time to push this out than usual. Don’t worry – we’ll be […]

Guymon, OK to Payson, AZ

December 8, 2012

Trip so far: 72hr 43min, 4846.6 mi Saturday: 9:40am CST to 10:31pm MST Today’s journey went well enough us, but not for others on the road. Midway through our day, Amy witnessed the final seconds of a horrifying crash. A 55-65 year old man in a silver F-150 appeared to have lost consciousness while driving, […]

Return of the Stolen Laptop!

November 7, 2012

Amy and I found ourselves in shock Monday night, trying to wrap our minds around everything that had just happened. Sitting on the couch beside us was my stolen laptop – along with all of the peripherals that had been taken with it. Although the computer had at one point been completely taken apart, the […]

Laptop Stolen; Write-Up Gone!

October 29, 2012

It took me a minute to realize what had happened. I walked into my work space early Saturday morning, ready for a 12-hour workday that would wrap up my Cherokee linguistics write-up. After shutting the door behind me I carefully set my coffee cup on the table, then threw my jacket over the chair in […]

Almost there…

October 21, 2012

With nine weeks of Cherokee study complete, that means there is only one more to go! How has so much time flown by?

Back in the Groove

October 14, 2012

It’s only been five months since I (Jordan) analyzed my last linguistics problem… and while in some ways it seems like it’s been forever, for the most part everything is coming back quickly! The first of three write-up weeks is over, and 7.5-hour workdays in a quiet classroom have been very profitable. I estimate that […]

5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

October 2, 2012

Let the last minute planning sessions commence! Have we recorded enough Cherokee stories to use in grammar analysis? How are we doing on double-checking all those nouns for written accuracy? Are we fairly confident we’ve collected enough material on what makes questions different from commands? And do any of us have the slightest clue what […]

And… we’re off!

August 14, 2012

At 6:53 this morning, we slowly started rolling down Amy’s parents’ driveway – farewells still being shouted through the window, and nearly ten hours of driving awaiting us today. Our minivan was packed to the gills, carrying with us all of the necessities we’ll use over four months on the road. We’ve known this day […]
