The Eruptions in our Lives

February 4, 2020

In January, we had a little “eruption” into our lives and routine. On January 12, we saw the alert for Taal Volcano quickly go from Alert 1 to Alert 4. Walter had been monitoring the activity as the middle school had plans to have this year’s outdoor education week on the island of Taal, with […]

Christmas Break: Ministry at the Girls’ Home

December 29, 2019

We thoroughly enjoyed ministering to eleven girls (ages 5 to 13) from the girls’ home that we mentioned. They had so much fun with us. We went to Faith Academy on Tuesday, December 17, and a waterfall on Wednesday, December 18. Faith Academy let us use their facilities for free. Plus we were able to […]

Thankful for God’s Blessings

November 21, 2019

We are getting into the holiday season here in the Philippines. No snow here to remind us it is getting closer to Christmas, but Christmas decorations are out everywhere. True to the spirit here, we have decorations up in our house. Some of our fall decor is competing with Christmas decorations, but will soon be […]

Crazy in middle school

September 30, 2019

Thank you for your continued prayer support. Life is beginning to settle down, but it is not slowing down. Walter loves teaching his classes, but since they are new classes to him, the preparation and grading time take a lot longer. He was hoping things would get easier; instead he is just setting boundaries. Middle […]

Hello from the Philippines

Thank you for praying for us. The last month of our home assignment was extremely busy and we are thankful to God for all the help that we had and all that was accomplished. Our trip to the West Coast went very well. We were able to see our daughter, Juliana, and Devin, her husband. […]

Preparation for the Philippines

Thank you for your prayers for us. We have put on many miles on our car. In April we traveled to Wisconsin to speak at one of our supporting churches and saw many friends and family along the way. Plus, we were able to spend some time with our son, Ben, and his family before […]

God’s Blessings

December was a special time for our family. We were all together celebrating Juliana and Devin’s wedding on December 15 in Kansas. It was a fun day, full of memories and honoring our Heavenly Father. We are blessed with such a wonderful family, as well as our extended family and friends who celebrated with us. […]

Special Family Time

December 9, 2018

Family time has been precious to us during our home assignment. We were privileged to spend three weeks with Walter’s family in southern Africa in October. We saw a lot of wildlife out in the open, spent a lot of time in vehicles traveling, and saw where Walter’s brother, Mark, and his wife, Deb live […]

Enjoying the Fall Weather

September 25, 2018

The hardest part of missionary life is being away from friends and family. We are so thankful for this time in the US. In August we were able to help Abby get settled into college life. She is thoroughly enjoying her time at Calvary University. She has been blessed with many new friends, and her […]
