Surprise Furlough

November 18, 2020

Some of you know and some of you may not know it yet, but we are back in the US. We came back here in early October and didn’t tell anyone because we wanted to surprise our families. We had originally planned on coming back in December, so it was only two months early. […]

Back to School

August 5, 2020

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 […]

Trying to Stay Healthy

June 13, 2020

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 […]

Lockdown Update

March 22, 2020

We are just wanting to let you all know what’s going on with us during this corona virus pandemic. The truth is, it’s probably much the same for us as it is for any of you. Things have accelerated really quickly the last couple weeks and at this point, we only leave the house out […]

February 17, 2020

Lots of stuff has happened in the last five months. We’ve had one family finish their language study here and move on and two new families have moved in and started language study. Plus a baby was born to one of the new families. So stuff is always happening. At this point, having been here […]

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 […]
