Classroom on the Road (Pt. 3)

August 26, 2015

The last day of our trip was one that simply did not have enough hours in it! Most of us had pressing reasons to need to be back in the city by that night and as we considered all our options of things to do and the time it would take to do them (especially with […]

Nuestra Primera Conferencia en México! (Our 1st Conference in Mexico!)

June 28, 2015

At the end of last month we were privileged to attend our very first field Conference here in Mexico. We were very thankful that our first year as a part of this field was also the year of conference (since it is only biennial). This conference time was a perfect chance for us to get […]

Let’s Go Home

February 7, 2015

For a long time (about a year) in the life of our family we have not been able to say we were going “home.” First it was, “We are going back to Grampa and Grammas house”, then it was “Time to go back to Uncle Russ & Aunt Debi’s house,” then there were assorted hotels […]

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 […]

Remembering in the Darkness

June 21, 2014

“Remember in the darkness what you have learned in the light.” I remember this little piece of wisdom being imparted to us when we were in Bible school. 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 […]

Tricked Ya!

February 15, 2014

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 […]

Shadowing Jude

January 26, 2013

The best way I have found to slow Jude down while on a walk through our village is to make him wear shoes. 🙂 Only while his feet are constrained to civilized attire will he actually WALK with me (as opposed to run) as we visit our friends here. Life is like that for Jude-full […]

Mommy’s Day Out

November 18, 2012

Being a missionary as a wife and the mother of two young children is a handful. There are definitely limits to what I can be involved in here in terms of how much I can be out with the people, how long I am out and where I can go. In spite of these limitations […]

Check it.

June 21, 2012

For the last month or so we had been making frequent jokes with our Tigak friends about the impending “TEST” that was coming up for us in our language study. We were able to make our friends laugh as we jokingly talked up being “terrified” of how we would do when our Culture & Language Acquisition […]
