March 11, 2020

This week I’m thankful for: New screens in the windows! The house we’re living in had some very holey screens, so it’s nice to have new ones being put in. Getting to try new foods. I enjoy trying new things. Recently I was given taro, which I had never eaten let alone cooked. (See picture). […]

Thankful Thursday #8

I’m thankful for: A visit from Cameron’s brother this Christmas! It was a highlight of our Christmas having him here! How beautiful it is here!

Fall without the leaves

November 28, 2017

It’s weird to be in a place where the months and seasons move without any noticeable change. We don’t really even have a distinct rainy season here in our town, so it’s just always between 80-95 F with a mix of rain and wind on occasion. The consistent, unchanging temperature makes […]

What a wonderful time we had with family, friends and ministry partners! We had invitations to visit more of you, but we […]

Ode to a Father Who Provides
