EBM Retreat

Well, we’re here in Veracruz, sitting at poolside, enjoying our free time. It’s been a slavedriver of a conference so far. We were in session until 11 PM last night. Brutal. Ok, that’s because we didn’t start until after 9:30, after getting back from supper around 8:30. Yup, we don’t take our times too seriously […]

End of the day

Well, you know you’re a little past the honeymoon stage when part of your Valentine’s Day outing is spent looking at stoves at Sears (and they were priced much more competitively than we would have expected)! It was a good time and a good day though; some of the highlights: – A breakfast discipleship with […]

Week in Review: February 12, 2011

I write this in hopes of starting something regular, looking back at our week, touching on highlights, showing what our week is typically like, and, hopefully being interesting. I’m pretty wiped, since I took Drew to a football camp in the morning (a missionary friend is running it in the community behind Pueblo Nuevo) and […]

Prayer card is up

For those who care…we’ve put together a Fall 2010 digital prayer card. Family weddings make great prayer card photo shoots! Anyway, feel free to download the picture and print it up, as long as you pray for us!

Comunidad Bíblica puts on a show

Friday night we went to our old church, Comunidad Bíblica, for their Christmas Cantata. They really did it up well. They decorated very thoroughly, they put up new lights, relocated the projector–all of which sounds simple, maybe, but was a ton of work there in that building. They also had a little string orchestra, with […]

Getting on the ground

Well, things are still very much in transition here. We’re still looking for housing, starting to make/renew contacts in Romero Vargas/Pueblo Nuevo, and trying to get into a bit of a comfort zone as a family. There’s nothing exciting to report, not really any profound thoughts to blog about. Sometimes people get this exotic idea […]

From Puebla!

Well, we’re back home! That’s what it felt like, as we drove over one of the last mountain passes and saw Popo and Izta in the fading sunset, and a little bit later saw Malinche. We say Psalm 121 (in Spanish) with the kids just about every night. That’s been especially meaningful as we’ve been […]

Hello, Texas

Well, the touring part of our trip is over. We’ve driven just over 3,000 miles, seen 5 national parks, camped out four nights, experienced temperatures from 100 degrees down to about 35. Now we’re with Tim’s Uncle Larry & Aunt Jayme in Dallas this morning, then driving 120 miles south to Temple for a few […]

Goodbye, Tacoma

Well, the Expedition is loaded, fueled, tuned, re-tired, and re-shocked (worthily of Mexican roads!). And the kids are in bed, and we’re winding things down. Tomorrow we head from Tacoma to Redding, bound for a weekend in the Bay Area, then eastward toward Texas. We’ll be posting our adventures, as wi-fi is available. We value […]

September 2010 Prayer email

We’ll just put the link up with no further comment. It’s been a while, but it was summer! Thanks for checking back with us. From here on out there will be more to say, more news and we expect to be back in the posting business regularly.
