We’ve been back in the states for 3+ months now and our furlough is close to being half over. We plan on heading back to the field at the end of February or beginning of March 2024. The kids are just now starting school for the year and Alisha is now in her third trimester. […]

Summer is over and fall is coming for those of you in the northern hemisphere. Fall is a season that we miss every year, so we just pretend it’s here by drinking apple cider and lighting scented candles 🙂 Our last 3 or 4 months have been almost constantly busy. We have had 38 guests […]

I want to start off by thanking everyone who prayed for our friend from church recently. The doctor initially wanted to do surgery on him, but later decided not because of his age and the risk it would mean. Shortly after that, he improved enough to come home and we were able to visit him […]

The Covid pandemic continues, although some travelling restrictions are loosening and in general, we are seeing a lot more people out and about. School is starting up again for the kids and we are preparing for the beginning of other things as well. Normally, we have a new group arrive in July, but their arrival […]

The last few months have been busy and slow at the same time. We’ve had a lot happen in that time and we’ve been doing a lot of waiting, too. As I mentioned before, we had three new families move here and begin language study as well as one other family move from another region […]
