I know this video might seem a little long, but trust me, it’s a lot shorter than the process it talks about! Many people want to know, “what exactly do you do down there?” Here’s a perfect example of one of those things to which I say, “try putting THAT in a newsletter!”

One of the single mothers we serve in ministry was recently diagnosed with diabetes. We took her to a doctor we trust to begin the process of getting her medicine but then we found out that a local clinic supported by the government offers the treatments for free.

Back in March, Missy and I were forced to move out of our house for about 5 days. It was the result of a string of fires in Guatemala that hit us a bit closer to home than usual. As we are in the tail end of the dry season here, there tends to be […]

We noticed that lately people have been asking us, “what’s new?” and we’ve literally had nothing much new to report. We are still learning Spanish. We are still in Antigua living in […]

“We are now living in another country!” The thought kinda hit me upside the head yesterday. Missy looked at me like I was crazy. I mean, we have been here since January and have been planning this for over a year. But really, we’re living here. We aren’t just vacationing or visiting here for a […]

I don’t know about you but every time I hear this phrase I can’t help but think of the song from the Kit Kat candy bar commercials “give me a break, give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.” Well if it wasn’t in your head before it is […]
