Chowin
 I was putting Hannah to sleep in the house, while the boys finished up worship with the older children. The waterfall was making a pleasant gurgling sound, while jungle bugs sang their good night songs. I could hear the babble of the children’s voices as they finished worship out at the classroom. Their voices began…read more.
The Attack
It had been a pretty hard day. I had been bitten by two little “ants” as people call them here. I quickly found out that I was allergic to these little critters, and had spent the day working hard while trying to nurse my wrist and elbow that were swollen to several times their normal…read more.

The Move
We did it. We actually survived….at least for now. You might be asking what we survived? Well, since that is what I was planning to tell you about, this works well for all of us! Roy left us last Tuesday, and so I headed home to my lonely family. So many things happened in the…read more.
