Made it to Quarantine

January 16, 2022

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 […]

Barely Made It Out

July 19, 2021

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 […]

Prepping for Home

The Basics! – We are thankful for improvement in Allegra’s health and praise God for the strength He’s given her.

What’s Gonna Happen?

October 6, 2020

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 […]

Getting Beat by a Baby?

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 […]

Little by Little – Sedikit Sedikit

June 23, 2020

We miss you! Unsurprisingly, it’s really hard to leave almost everyone you know. It’s also hard to try to fit in to a new place with new people that you can’t talk to. But, God has never left us on our own and He isn’t starting now. We are well taken care of by Him […]
