We were overwhelmed and encouraged by how many people said they were praying for the situation in Qhochumi, and I know there were so many more as well. Sometimes we feel far away here, but in this prayer effort, we felt so close to you guys and so much a part of a team. Thank [...]

Answered Prayers

I am so happy to share good news with you. This past Sunday, Graham, Efrain, and Ed were able to share part of the creation story. They invited several families to hear the story. A man named Santu Felipe brought his entire family. They were really excited about the story and memorized it quickly. The [...]

We sent the following message out to our prayer partners today and ask that you also would please pray.
Graham, Efrain, and Ed have been in the community of Qhochumi the past couple of weeks. Our team has had a presence there for several months now. This trip is unique because the guys have just begun [...]

I grew up in a culture that admires hard work. For a man to put in a good days’ work is a thing to be proud of. Most of you probably grew up with that same value. I always felt like I worked pretty hard…particularly in those summer jobs I had in high school [...]

Before I begin another Finca Esquena post, here is the latest update. Jeff and Javier are heading out today to the communities for a little over a month. If you remember from their last trip, they had a lot of trouble finding a community that would either accept them or that had enough men to [...]
Baby Stuff

I’ve had several requests for pictures of my growing belly. But my sweet husband has strongly “suggested” that this blog not turn into one about that baby whose parents have some sort of ministry in Bolivia. So I’ve created a separate page titled “baby stuff” with pictures of the nursery, our 4-D sonogram, and the [...]

We’re headed out to Cochabamba tomorrow morning for about two months to take Quechua and wait for the baby. We’re pretty sad to leave here. Tonight we went to our place that’s like our Cheers. You know…where everybody knows your name. Right after we moved here, Sucre opened up a nice new supermarket that is [...]

We posted all of our Finca Esquena pictures under our “pictures” tab if you’d like to see them all at once. We’ll continue to post pictures as they pertain to our blogs.

I ate six times today and Trent ate nine times. I’ve learned that here they normally eat four times a day: breakfast [...]
Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

We never thought we would dress like the people we are ministering to. After all, there is no way they will ever think we look like them. But the Quechua dress is so much a part of their culture and the people out where we work are already so suspicious of outsiders. So we decided [...]
When a Pig Dies

Before I start my journal entry from Finca Esquena, I wanted to ask for your prayers for Graham, Efrain, and one of the leaders of our mission who is visiting us, Ed. Ed has been planning to visit for quite some time now to get a feel for our ministry here so that he can [...]
