US Trip Wrap-up

I hate it has been so long since I have been able to share about the last half of my time in the States but here is a short wrap-up.  I got back from the US on August 10.
The training for our REAPSouth partner churches came and went without a hitch.  It was a wonderful [...]

Back Safely From Nazca

Jenny, the boys and I got home from Nazca yesterday about supper time and are glad to be in our home and in our beds- even the boys must have been glad to be home as they slept in until 7:20am, unheard of in our family!  This morning, the boys are playing as hard as [...]

My friends and I are still here

The team from Union Grove has come and gone and we had a GREAT week.  I truly believe God went before us as we made many good contacts for future ministry and I believe the guys got an accurate idea of what ministry there will be like.  Thank you for your prayers.  I’m praying they [...]

Moving In Tomorrow

This week I have been camped out in an empty house while a painter works and our furniture and appliances are delivered from various stores where we purchased them.  While not everything will be in place, we plan to move into our new house tomorrow and we’re super excited!  The boys bunkbeds are going to [...]

Another Boy

Once we get into our new house we’re going to be getting a puppy.  We’ve already “reserved” him and we’ll get him after we move.  He is a beagle and the boys are really excited.  Caleb has already named him.
When Jenny told Caleb that we were getting a dog, she said we’d have to give [...]

Another Quick Update

One day in the future I look for to posting something personal with a title other than something about “quick” and “update”.  But today is not that day .

The boys are still doing well at school.  Caleb didn’t cry while being dropped off today at school for the first time since the first day [...]

Lamenting Limited Connectivity

I hate to say it but I’m addicted.  I can’t believe how differently my life feels when I don’t have a reliable and steady internet connection.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for the limited access we have, but I certainly look forward to having my regular “set up” at our permanent residence here in [...]

Safe and Sound in Chile

After a flight into a Peruvian border town, and a quick hop across the border, we made it to Arica, Chile. We are staying in a nice hotel with complimentary wireless internet. The boys are snug in their beds (the room has three twin beds and one double!) and we are around the [...]

The Changes Continue

Recently Jenny has been blogging much more consistently than me- I hope you  have been reading over there about all that has been going on.  I hope to get this blog back on track again soon.  Here are a couple of updates for you:

We are moving this weekend to a temporary apartment.  In April, we [...]

Wow!

Jan 17-20.  Prayer retreat with Mountain/Jungle missionaries
Jan 20.  Drove to Lima.  Hunted a place to sleep tonight.  Found one.  Hunted a future apartment.  Found none.

We are here in Lima at the mission guest house.  Our REAP South Team has worked hard so we could stay here.  Tomorrow, we are [...]
