Skipping School –   It doesn’t happen much in life, so on those rare occasions where the teacher says it’s okay to skip class, we get pretty excited!  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 […]

Settle Down and Get Going

Settle Down and Get Going

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 […]

Barely Made It Out

   We made it!  Back on home soil.  Barely…  It was a dramatic ordeal to get out of the country.    But first, to catch you up:  As we mentioned in our last email, the process of leaving was quite complex and there were lots of cultural expectations.  Thankfully we were able to fulfill most […]

What’s Gonna Happen?

What’s Gonna Happen?

What’s gonna happen???  No, we aren’t referring to anything in the news these days…  (Although we aren’t too sure about any of that either, except that we know the One who already knew the End at the very Beginning!  And that’s pretty comforting.) On a much smaller scale, we are waiting to see what will […]

Restrictions lifting…  Good evaluation results! Getting beat by a baby…     We are thankful that over the past month our virus-related restrictions have been able to loosen up a bit.  Locally there are very few confirmed cases, so we are able to get out for errands and a bit of exploration.  This also means that we now […]
