Sicap Family

May 11, 2015

After 8 months of living in Dakar, Senegal, we have moved to a new neighborhood. We moved for a couple reasons but mainly to be closer to where our church gathers and to be closer to our host family. At first, the idea of moving didn’t sound that exciting. We had grown quite comfortable […]

Normal

May 11, 2015

What is normal? Is kissing your sister on the lips normal? How ‘bout kissing your wife on the lips?? Is it normal for some people to not be normal? A lot of people normally do things that are not normal. Normally when I brush my tongue with a toothbrush I choke a little. Is that […]

Shared FB Message

January 23, 2015

Before we left the states I told a lot of people about how I would be utilizing this blog frequently. After arriving in Senegal I said the same thing to a fellow missionary who was ahead of us in language training. His response to me was “good luck”. “Luck” has not been on my side and […]

Bonjour! Hopefully soon enough I will be able to say that word without sounding like a redneck doing an impersonation of the pink panther, but for now it will do. By the grace of God the Hundertmark family has made it through a week of living in the wild city of Dakar in the wild […]

Everything is cool when your part of a team!

March 18, 2014

Remember the ole varsity football jackets. I don’t know if kids where them anymore but as a kid I just remember those jackets being a statement.

Emery May Joins the Journey!

November 13, 2013

Last time my wife Cathren had a kid, I wrote a blog about it. My life had been changed in ways that only another father could understand. It was a unique experience that would never happen again. I mean, it would never happen exactly that way with exactly that child ever again. I would not […]

What do you stand for?

January 23, 2013

5 days out of the week I am driving to work at 3:15 AM. I decided it would be good for my soul to listen to the Christian radio station as I drive in every morning. After all, their motto is “encouraging and uplifting”. So I’m thinking, “yeah that’s what I need at this time […]
