Balloons in Tanzania and Wal-Mart


Last night we went grocery shopping in Wal-Mart (yes, all of us: 4 kids, 1 car seat and 2 carts!)  Ellie kept saying, "We go to Tanzania.  We get balloons in Tanzania."  Our kids are so young, they think going to Tanzania is the same as going to Wal-Mart.  They have no idea that this is no mere trip to Tanzania.  We are moving!

Some of you have asked us a valid question: "How long is your time commitment for this mission with Wycliffe?"  Good question.  We believe God is leading us to full-time service with Wycliffe.  This means permanent, career move, life-altering, indefinite period of time, until-God-leads-us-elsewhere life transition.  Many Bible translation projects take years or decades to complete.  We are committed to investing our lives in the cause of Bible translation.  Therefore we are asking God to provide regular, monthly prayer and financial partners.  We appreciate all of you who have joined our team!


Thank you!

  1. It is funny how the process these things! Forrest asked me one day "after my nap, can we do to Honduras?" It was like, we have been talking about this forever mom, when are we actually going? He and Elliot often play going on the airplane. It helps they have been on an airplane recently. Since the beginning of all this I have prayed that God would somehow prepare their little hearts and minds for this...such big stuff for such little kids
