Come Shop With Us!

August 13, 2016

Often when we sit down to a meal as a family we will take turns sharing something we enjoy about living in Mexico, or something here we like. As the kids took turns sharing about some things they enjoy about Mexico the other day (Jude was mentioning his admiration of cinder block construction and Iris […]

Visitas y Viajes

August 13, 2016

One of the great highlights of our summer was having visits from family and being able to see people we dearly love. Now that we serve as missionaries here in Mexico it is much easier for people to visit us and we are so thankful that some have! Even though Jude was off school for […]

January 17, 2016

Jesus said to His disciples: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” -Matthew 28:19-20 […]

Big Road Trip South

November 24, 2014

We were sitting in a congregational meeting after the church service on our last Sunday at our church. I was listening to all the discussions and plans for budgets in the coming year and doing my best to focus on the present but my mind was reeling with many other things! We were supposed to […]

Heading South…of the Border!

July 31, 2014

Its been over two months since we officially resigned from our work among the Tigak in Papua New Guinea. This transition has felt like a lifetime as it has been one of the most challenging things we have ever faced. We loved the Tigak, had great fellowship with our co-workers and felt confident that we […]

Just recently, our pastor challenged us with the same thing in regards to our feelings about the Lord’s trustworthiness, loving care and provision in light of our […]

One Place to the Next

March 31, 2014

Tricked Ya!

Our co worker Aimee LOVES surprises. She just loves them. Because I love her, it has been a dream of mine for quite some time to give her what she would love, a mega surprise! God is so sweet to me. He gives me things I do not deserve and really brings things together in […]

Siblings Reunited

February 15, 2014

My siblings and I have an interesting situation because of the fact that we are all missionaries, or at least planning on being missionaries. If Tom and I were the only family working overseas that would one thing. We would be gone for years on end without seeing my family and that would be hard. […]

Coconut Culture

June 20, 2012

Its tempting to look at our time in language and culture study as mainly about getting the Tigak language. Culture study seems less tangible and less impressive than speaking a new language. However, we firmly believe that language should be learned in the context of culture, therefore, our language & culture study among the Tigak […]
