Wrapping up one’s life in the States is certainly time-consuming. Our final three weeks we’re spent taking on the task of scaling down our possessions one last time. The photo above indicates all that’s left of our worldly belongings (besides our keepsakes), some of which Scott’s family will bring to us once […]

Saying goodbye to family and friends was bitter sweet. On our trip back to Oklahoma City from Richmond we had one more opportunity to visit with family and friends. What an encouragement they’ve been every step of the way. During our stop in Kansas City, we experienced some car trouble. Thanks to Greg […]

It’s hard to believe on September 28th of this year Scott and I celebrated 11 years of marriage. This year, Scott promised to take me to Costa Rica (ha! ha!). I think I’ll take him up on it! Jim surprised us with this cake, which was a nice touch. God has been […]

The Cultural Worship time has been a really neat experience. The first week it was a mixture of Spanish songs, Korean scripture reading and a prayer in Chinese. The second week was worship South Asia style, which meant we all sat on the floor and sang songs in Hindi (well, we attempted […]

As part of our cross-cultural learning, we were asked to participate in three Special Meal lunches. The first meal was what you might find as a typical meal in North Africa or the Middle East. It consisted of meatballs, salad (diced tomatoes, onions (Scott’s favorite!), and cucumbers) and bread. Of course, in […]

Many of you may be wondering what we’re doing during our eight weeks here. I thought “what could we possibly have to cover in our training that would take eight weeks?” “Surely we must have a lot of free time…”, boy, was I mistaken!! Below is a description of what a typical […]

August 4th: The next leg of our journey to the mission training center took us to Cincinnati….Home of the World’s Best Ice Cream (at least in our opinion)…Graeter’s!!! While there, we also took a short trip into Kentucky to visit the Creation Museum. Most of the exhibits were man made but they […]
