A Spokane Weekend

May 4, 2010

Last weekend we ventured up to Spokane, Washington. We left on my birthday (April 30th) and spent about 10 hours (things take longer with a kid :)) to get to our destination. The drive was truly astonishing. Observing the variety of God’s creation just took our breath away. From densely wooded mountains, the massive Columbia […]

Another Oregon Trail

April 28, 2010

We’ve blazed the Oregon trail yet again! Well, at least our own trial from Michigan to the west. We’ve been able to return to Oregon three times over the last year and a half. This time however will likely be our last before heading overseas, and it is also quite short compared to our last […]

This is Aimee

April 16, 2010

Yesterday I had an amazing time with a dear friend. Unfortunately Tom could not make it because he had been feeling a bit sick but that did not stop little Jude and I from hopping in the car and driving to see a very special person for the day! It is our privilege to introduce […]

On the Airwaves

April 13, 2010

Sometimes I get ideas that Tom thinks are crazy. Sometimes they don’t work, but often they do-this is one of the times that one did. 🙂 A while back Tom and I were talking about how we wished we could have the opportunity to share about reaching the unreached with way more people than we […]

Stuffless.

April 6, 2010

Well, it is done. Last Wednesday we were able to have our stuff safely loaded onto a semi truck, on its way to the ship that will take it to Papua New Guinea. Praise the Lord! As we watched our 16 totes and boxes be wrapped to a pallet and then fork lifted up the […]

Stop that Ship!

March 26, 2010

With all the trips to the store and packing it feels like we are leaving and not just our stuff! Considering how stressful and exhausting it has been to get all our things ready to ship, I am very grateful to have the next three months to prepare ourselves! Last weekend we had our much […]

Manuscripts & Makeovers

March 9, 2010

Last week was a good one! I finally started recovering from my illness so Tom, Jude, my little brother Davy & I were able to go on a bit of an adventure one day. The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI has had a special display going on for the last month or so […]

Bring On the Cloth!

February 24, 2010

Recently we applied for something called a “diaper grant” from a wonderful organization who sells cloth diapers. They have a commitment to help overseas missionaries by giving them cloth diapers. About two months after we applied for the grant we were approved and Jude’s spankin’ new cloth diapers arrived today! This is seriously a huge […]

Cotton Fields & Creation

February 5, 2010

Time for us to do some “catch up” blogging! Things got so busy at the end of our trip that we didn’t have time to keep you up to date, so now we will back track to let you know how the last weeks of our trip went! Last we wrote, we were leaving Florida […]

Goodbye, Palm Trees

January 24, 2010

This last week has been a full one! Early in the week we had a meeting with a missions pastor from a church in the area. We sat over chai tea, juice and water and shared him our vision to see the unreached people of Papua New Guinea reached with the gospel. It was a […]
