Holiday season recap

January 14, 2019

Looking back at the last eight years and I realized that we haven’t had two “holiday seasons” the same. Each year looks different around here when it comes to the “traditional” holiday seasons. November held a visit from Torre’s mom and us hosting Thanksgiving. We had a family from the Guest House over to enjoy […]

Technology

April 12, 2018

Technology. How I loath it. How I love it. I love keeping in touch with my family. My dad now has a smart phone and even uses emoji’s! I’m not a fan of how it seems to suck my kids in with the flashy screen. However, last week I realized how much technology really does […]

So how was your year?

September 13, 2016

“So how was your Home Assignment this past year?” How do you sum up ten months of constant changes? I mean some memories looked like this…. Then there was this one we all will be talking about years later. And brand new experiences seemed to happen a lot. Meeting new people […]

Sundays in Idaho

December 30, 2015

One of our main goals of this home assignment (furlough) is to get reacquainted with our sending churches. We were, however, able to speak in a couple other churches as well during our time in Idaho. Our Idaho sending church is Paul Congregational in Paul, Idaho. They have a Missions Fest weekend every year. This year we […]

Above and beyond…the van need

November 10, 2015

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,” To put it simply, God has provided the funds for us to purchase a van. We are overwhelmed and humbled watching this all take place. We are able […]

Leaving a legacy

August 6, 2014

So I’m not much of a blogger and historically Narah has been the one to update and write things on our blog but I thought it was maybe my turn to write a few thoughts down so please read this (if you will) and let me know your thoughts on what I put down. I’ve […]

Our Thanksgiving

December 14, 2013

How to you “sum up” one of the most memorable Thanksgivings our family has ever had? To see and experience how our friends Chris and Rachel Thomas live life in the remote mountains of Mexico was a blessing to us. At times our ministry at the guest house feels so far removed from the tribal […]

New life at the guest house

November 18, 2013

My kids have never really been around pregnant women. This fact was very apparent when one of our missionary ladies came up from Mexico to deliever her baby here in El Paso. She brought her two boys with her, both of whom were around Turin’s age. Playmates for about three weeks! Lydia kept comenting on […]

Many of you have received our newsletter. If you are not on that mailing list and would like to be, please email us and we’ll be sure to add you! Last week we were able to spend time with good friends Chris and Rachel Thomas. They came to the guest house for about 10 days. […]

The kids opinion

June 17, 2013

Before we left for the mission field conference we had started to pray for the kids and their adjustment to being in Mexico. Neither of them remember the last time we were there and Turin doesn’t remember living there. Our first meal when we arrived was with a Mexican family we became good friends with. […]
