The Swing of Things

September 4, 2019

I just realized it has been a couple months since our last update. Time has really flown like the proverbial arrow. Overall, things are going well. We are learning to get things done with less manpower. I think we are starting to enjoy our jobs, because we feel like these things are really ours to […]

Summer Break

June 23, 2019

The last month was a bit of a whirlwind for us. We ended May going on a visa trip to where we lived until last July. We got 5-year visas, so it will be nice to not have to renew those every single year. Right as we got back, the biggest holiday of the year […]

Always On the Move

April 4, 2019

We mentioned previously that we would be moving soon, and this last week, it happened. Our new house is only a short distance from our old house. This new place is actually the office/guesthouse for our org, so not only have we moved, but we will be starting to add some new responsibilities that come […]

Another Beginning

August 1, 2018

Well, we survived the move and we’ve been here three weeks. We are in a different house in a different part of town than last time we lived here (about three years ago). We’ve been getting used to things, remembering the roads and stores and restaurants and places we used to go. Alisha has got […]

Packing and Moving

June 14, 2018

Last month, we went to Singapore for a check-up with Alisha’s doctor since it had been 7 months since we’d been there (we were supposed to do an appointment after 3 months). Her original diagnosis was asthma, but although Alisha’s breathing improved some, we were still unsure whether it was really asthma. This time, after […]

Medical Check-Up

May 13, 2018

This is a short update to let you know that we are headed to Singapore this week for a check-up for Alisha. It’s been almost 7 months since we went there and got the original diagnosis of asthma. Alisha has had some ups and downs since then, and at this point, we are still unsure […]

A Return

March 24, 2018

We’ve decided to go ahead and move back to the city I mentioned in my last email in a few months. It will be for a minimum of 18-24 months and possibly permanent, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. I will lay out some of the factors we considered in making […]

Decisions

March 17, 2018

This is just a quick update to let you know we have a big decision to make this week. We have been living here in our current city for a year and half, continuing our language study and planning on serving in this region long-term. But recently, the opportunity came up to do something different. […]

Up And Then Down Again

January 27, 2018

Last month was a good month, but this month has not been quite as good for Alisha. She still struggles with her breathing issues some, but the hardest thing for her is that she feels tired all the time. There has been some improvement overall since she started her meds in October, but not as […]

Praying and Waiting

November 4, 2017

Well, it’s been a rough couple months. Alisha and the kids were gone for 3 weeks in September and when they got back, her breathing problems started. That took a few weeks to resolve, although resolve seems like too strong a word, since the problem has not completely gone away. But we are home now, […]
