It\u2019s been over two and a half years since our last blog post. How did this happen??? I can think of a few reasons. COVID was long and hard for everyone. Life got busier; our children had important needs that demanded our focus, and I think some writing fatigue set in while I was working on my master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, we\u2019re gearing up for a new phase of ministry engagement. Along with returning to regular blogging, we\u2019re rebooting our Facebook group and giving email updates a makeover, looking to add new people to our mailing list (contact us<\/a> if you want to be added!), and trying to find new ways to share what God is doing in Mexico and beyond. Also, next year, we will take our first year-long ministry home assignment! More on this later.<\/p>\n\n\n

We look forward to bringing you ministry updates, family news, reflections on life in Mexico, and discussion on issues related to cross-cultural missions. We hope it is helpful, encouraging, and edifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
