Updates from our home in the jungle!
Ben arrived safely home today! Everyone was so excited to see him. He made it safely all the way across the world to our little spot on planet earth, but not without incident. As a parting present, his wallet was stolen in Los Angeles, leaving him with no money, no debit cards or any other…read more.
About a year after Ben first came to Asia, I was talking to him on the phone, and he asked me what I thought of some of the things that were happening in the news. I told him that I had not thought about it, but it didn’t look like that big of a deal,…read more.
It is always amazing to me how God works. Last week was a really hard week, to say the least. But, for some unknown reason, the noise has stopped at night completely,(that is until I began writing, and now it started in again) and only occasionally during the day do we have to hear that…read more.

Today marks the two year anniversary of our arrival here in Thailand. What a lot has happened in those two years! Sometimes it seems like an eternity, and sometimes it feels like the blink of an eye. I certainly am looking forward to what this year will bring! This week finds me incredibly busy. I…read more.
I just had this thought cross my mind that I have never shown you all what any of our languages are like here! So I guess it’s time I gave you a glimpse! So here we go, let’s start with Khmer (Cambodian)… The alphabet is made up of: 33 consonants, 32 sub-scripts, 24 dependent vowels,…read more.
Last week when Travis brought the girls home from school, he asked to speak with me right away. The look on his face told me that this was urgent, so we went outside to talk privately. The week before, Thunduh’s cousin died and she had small children. Travis told me that if he understood the…read more.
