Our newsletters are now available online and in print. To view the latest newsletter click here. As you will see in the newsletter we are very close to our goal. Our last obstacle before leaving is to raise a one-time cost of $15,000. This covers plane tickets, visas, shipping, driving, taxes, and other costs. Please…

Right now we are at MTI, an organization near Colorado Springs that trains missionaries who are about to go on the field. This is our final training before going to Belize. This means we are very close to getting there. Yay! We are still at about 76% funded. No, we never did reach our goal…

Here we are in Washington after a three day stay in Oregon visiting churches. We were in Oregon visiting three churches. Last Sunday John was given the opportunity to preach at a church service. He did an awesome job. I’m really proud of him. At another church, to my great surprise, I was reunited with…

Last Day on the mission base. Here’s the team report for the day: Hey everyone it’s Mary, Amber , and Brian for your Day Seven update. We went to bed to the sound of rain, luckily we were spared a rain out for the rest of the day. This morning we woke up to the…

Every time we return to Belize, we are more cognizant that we’re coming home, not leaving home. We had a great (but long) trip here. We’re definitely feeling the fatigue of not only the travel but of moving houses this last week also. This “living by faith” thing surely keeps you on the move. But…

Ok…since some of you have an insatiable appetite for new pictures of Evangeline, here’s a few that we’ve taken over the last few days between the broken sleep, diaper changing, and feeding. For those of you who are primarily interested in the missions aspect of our blog, I appreciate your patience as we indulge a…

I came to be with Mommy and Daddy Friday, January 16th at 11:36am. I was feeling pretty ornery, so I decided to make them come in after me, but after I met them, I decided that being with them wasn’t so bad after all. I’m 6lbs 10ozs and 20 inches long. Here’s some of my…
