Blessed!

Yesterday during the orientation process I was reminded of just how blessed we are to be missionaries with International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. As we are working through the orientation process, I have been amazed at all the things that the IMB made us do before we came that are now [...]

Great First Day

While there are still 3 more days of orientation, we are glad to have the first day behind us. We’re also thankful that each of our 3 boys picked up just where we left off during barefoot and did GREAT at school. It was a good day.
We are busy doing all of the [...]

School orientation is today!

Orientation begins today!  Please pray for us!

Back from Vacation

All I can say is, “Wow”! While our room left something to be desired, the facilities at the hotel were AWESOME! Seriously, two beaches on the Pacific, 4 pools (including two amazing kiddie pools), a great restaurant, and all of it nestled on the side of the rain forest. It was a beautiful place- Costa [...]

Leaving today

We leave today at 1pm our time (we have an IMB meeting this morning) and will be going to our hotel at Punta Leona about 2 hours away. It will be all of our first time ever seeing the Pacific Ocean… pretty exciting huh? We will be there until sometime on Monday. [...]

Pics on the Fridge

Today we took a family trip to find the post office, and when we got there we found out they don’t sell any envelopes of any sort. So we walked another couple of blocks to the place they recommended and there they were- MAGNETS! Yes, they had envelopes too, but Jen was much [...]

The Vacation is Set!

The reservations have been made and, if the Lord wills, we will be going to the beach this weekend for a 3 night vacation at what looks like a really nice place.  We are really excited because we were able to get a place that has 2 bedrooms rather than just a hotel style room [...]

A relaxing morning

It’s 8:15am here and Elijah has just gone down for a nap, Caleb is independently playing blocks and Luke is playing nicely with some of the other toys (Pray for Jen- her stomach is bothering her).  It is so peaceful that I decided to take a minute to blog.
We have another 9 days until classes [...]

Still not found

The cards still aren’t found (see last post) but I have canceled them both- I didn’t feel we could take any chances. Thank you for your prayers… we are fortunate that there have yet to be any fraudulent charges. Now pray that the new ones can somehow get to us .

Please Pray

I want to ask each of you to pray for us today…  One of Jen’s ATM cards and one of her credit cards are currently lost.  No activity has been reported on either of them so I don’t believe they are stolen, but they are lost and those aren’t the kinds of items floating around.  [...]
