big steps

January 13, 2017

I haven’t written in the last few months, but there has been so much going on! Josh and I have been really, really, really busy. No, really. 🙂 NTMA has been working really hard at getting the flight program back on track, a process that has been going on for a couple of years now. […]

busy work

October 22, 2016

What an interesting couple of months it has been! I can’t even believe it’s been that long since I blogged, because it has been so busy that time has seriously just flown by! Let me try and summarize: August It seems like we all had medevac on the brain; there was something like 1 a […]

How can it be August already? Howww?? Time is moving way too fast right now. I thought that summer would be slow and boring, but boy, was I wrong. It has been so busy and so full that I’m not sure I can even remember everything we’ve done! I just know that there hasn’t been […]

I’ve been a bit gunshy since my last post. I shared all about my trip into the bush to help put on a little preventative clinic for a village; since most of you who read here regularly know I work in the medical clinic this shouldn’t surprise you. However, the rest of the world is […]

We won’t ‘fly you to the moon…’

tribal trip

June 9, 2016

Last week I mentioned that I was heading into a tribal location to help our medical staff run a vaccine clinic, but due to some inclement weather on both ends, it was delayed until the next day. Since we knew that the weather in this location can get real bad real fast, we opted for […]

the quest for kodiaks

May 25, 2016

Three years ago, New Tribes Mission Aviation’s quest for a Kodiak for Papua New Guinea began. It was one based on the need to replace our older, less efficient 206 program with the newer, more efficient (and let’s face it, much cooler) aircraft, the Quest Kodiak. This is an airplane designed by bush pilots with […]

overdue america blog

May 10, 2016

This blog has been a long time coming… You know by now that I process life through words (and coffee!), but for some reason or another, sometimes the words aren’t there. Blogging became a burden, so I decided to take a break. I think I can officially declare this the end of that blogging break. […]

Living Life

March 22, 2016

We have been in Papua New Guinea for a little over a month and have settled into a rental home on the NTM mission center. Thank you all for praying for us as we get back into “living life” as a family. Jon got right back into flying, thanks to the expertise of his flight […]
