Exciting Reception In our last update, we shared how God was using our team and leadership to give us some new direction; since then, we have been focusing on getting to the “K” people group. You may remember that us guys hiked up into their remote village this past January. Well, after some additional trips […]
Which Direction? – The shortest distance between two points is always a straight line. But that doesn’t mean it’s always the fastest or even the best way to get there. Recently 3 of us from our team experienced that firsthand when it took us about 30 miles of hiking to get to a village […]
December 2022 The other day (actually around midnight our time) was the World Cup Final. People here really get into it and since their national team has never made it to the World Cup, they have freedom to pick and cheer for their favorite country.

That just happened to us with our last language evaluation. Our language consultant said that our ability is beyond where we are in our lesson plans, so now we can skip the equivalent […]
Settled In – Doesn’t it feel good to be settled? After all the chaos of moving, it’s so nice to have a place to call home. Like the Israelites wandering in the desert and longing for a place to settle, we all desire the security of our own abode. It’s a good reminder though that we won’t ever […]
We’re happy to report that we are safe and sound in the capital city. Thanks for your prayers. Although our first set of covid tests didn’t make it back in time, we were able to find another testing location on the way to the airport that gave us results in one hour (negative! PTL). […]
See you later… We have so enjoyed our time here at home! Thank you to each one who has been an encouragement to us while we’ve been back. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind but we’re so thankful for the months we’ve had. After spending Christmas with Allegra’s family in California, and […]
