So we had our last day at the MAC. It only lasted until noon. We had our last interviews and received some feedback on what they thought about us. I will not go into detail as we would like to conact our family first and tell them verbally but let me just tell you that…

Hello all! Today was so challenging. We had to continue working on our presentations as well as give some interviews. The first interview we had was with a couple of people on the BGC staff. They were very positive about everything (which was great) but there is also some logistical things we need to work…

Wow! What a day! It started at 8:30am and ended at 8:30 pm. We had an awesome day! First we had praise and worship time, and then we had a “case study” to do, followed by an explaination of a psychological test we were given, then another case study, then a presentation on what to…

What a blessing today was! We had a wonderful day getting to know other future missionaries. Today John and I gave our testimony and listened to others testimony.

Hello all! I just wanted to give you a little update on what is going on in our lives. We are currently moving forward with another mission board called the Baptist General Conference (or as you will see me write the BGC.) This is a wonderful sending organization much like the IMB. The biggest difference…

Sometimes God says “wait”. Times like these are not easy. There is a certain amount of insecurity that comes with not knowing what is going to happen day to day. Some would panic, as I did when we returned home. Trust me, not the route to go. For the past couple of weeks I have…

So we are home now. It’s a little wierd being back. We just came from hardly any water, electricity, and NO air conditioning and now I’m sitting in my cool home listening to the hum of my clothes dryer running. Strange. The posts do not end here, in fact our adventure has just begun! Look…
