Wrapping Things Up

June 26, 2014

I was telling someone just the other day how we are going to use a lot of ziploc bags to pack things in. This provides us a good supply of ziplocs in the tribe, and it also protects things from the elements while they sit around untouched for a time in a hot, humid climate. […]

On Your Mark….

June 6, 2014

Well, it’s safe to say that we are now lining up at the starting blocks. Or perhaps we’re like a horse entering the starting gate, eager to burst out and start the race. Thank you to all who recently prayed for our visa application process. With the power of your prayers reaching His ears, our […]

Planes, Planes, and…. Planes

July 18, 2013

ready to fly I believe the total number of flights Noe will have taken on this trip comes to 16! (Or 18? … A LOT) Most recently, he and Jack flew into a tribe that is a “new work” (meaning, the missionaries have just recently moved in and begun learning the culture and language). The […]

Apinun!

July 8, 2013

“Apinun!” is a common greeting in Tok Pisin, the national language of Papua New Guinea. I got my own greeting tonight just as we set dinner on the table! Noe was calling from PNG, having just landed from their flight out of the tribe! Noe, soon after arriving in PNG 🙂 Noe said they had […]

Time to Teach and Learn

June 21, 2013

In just 9 days, Noe will travel to Papua New Guinea! He is very excited, and it has also been an intense couple of weeks as the in-country details get made and changed (repeatedly). Please keep Noe and the other men in prayer as they seek to finalize their plans to best utilize the 25 […]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

June 20, 2012

Happy to be with family in Washington As we back out of the driveway, the girls chant, “Wait for it… wait for it…. wait for it….” And as we leave “Ms. Esther’s house” and drive down the hill, the girls sing, “WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!” So it is with many smiles that we report to you that we […]

Fastbreak

January 13, 2012

Yep, our trip to Seattle over Christmas break was as fast as toasting a pop tart. 🙂 (ok… here it is, a clip from stand-up comedian Brian Regan on the complexities of toasting pop tarts!) Brian Regan: Pop Tarts Spending time at Lincoln Park with Grandpa and Grandma The girls loved seeing their cousins! We flew […]

Merry Christmas!

December 22, 2011

Three cheers for a creative blog title! 🙂 We are in Seattle, having a lovely Christmas break. We’re so thankful for the opportunity to visit family, friends, and churches. Our training is wonderful, but we were definitely ready for this month of refreshment. Rather than post a Support blog this month, we wanted to just […]

Summer in the PNW

July 22, 2011

We have been enjoying our time in the Pacific Northwest very much! We’ve had quite a mixture of rest and busyness as Noe has worked, we have met with many, many people, we’ve had fellowship with our Family in Christ in Seattle and in Cannon Beach… In the midst of that, we’re eager to grow […]

Two Places at Once!

June 7, 2010

No, not a miracle… but our family is currently in two places at once. Noe is in Jackson (MI) working – we are very thankful for two employment positions! He is working a part-time retail job, but also enjoying ministering to a precious group of youth in a nearby Church. The girls and I flew […]
