In the midst of learning about irregular verb tenses, increasing our Spanish vocabulary, growing together as a team, and living day-to-day life here in Costa Rica, it is sometimes easy to take for granted the fact that in the near future we will be in Lima, Peru answering God’s call to share the Gospel. […]

So, we called up all of our friends, pulled out the best Halloween costumes we had with us, and partied on this past Friday in celebration of Halloween. First, I have to say (because there has been much discussion here in Costa Rica about this topic) that Halloween to our team is basically just […]

We recently heard about a very humbling experience here in language school. One of those experiences that will be told for years as veteran missionaries share their language woes, and their “joys” of learning a new language, with those just entering ministry on a foreign field. In simpler terms, the brief story I’m […]

As most of you know, our team is attending language school in Costa Rica before heading to Lima, Peru. We are really blessed to attend the Instituto de Lengua Española (Spanish Language Institute) in Costa Rica’s capital city, San Jose. Our team is doing amazingly well, and we are impressed with everyone’s gift […]

Well I have been hounded about my lack of posting/blogging so I took the afternoon to learn how to post on blogs and I admit, it’s not as bad as I thought! Costa Rica has been a whirlwind! We’ve been here barely a week and it seems like we have all jumped right […]

The other night, Justin and I were having dinner here in Tennessee at a wonderful restaurant called Bell Buckle Cafe. We took our teammates there when they came to visit. Yes, we think that much of it! It is actually located in Bell Buckle, TN. Can’t get any better than that. […]

After spending three wonderful days with the Thompsons in Shelbyville, TN, our team (minus the Yoakums, Tara, Kellan, & Parker) finished the trip on a high note. After helping lead the services at the Fairlane Church of Christ, most of the congregation headed to the Fellowship Hall to encounter some Peruvian culture. Following several weeks […]

Ok, so Rachel Klick mentioned that I did not write about my husband. Thanks, Rachel. :-) Our team switches turns posting on this website, and it was our week to post. I guess when I wrote about everyone I was thinking of it from “our perspective” (me and Justin). Anyway, I […]

I am sitting here trying to think of what in the world I should share with those of you who keep up with us on this website, and each time I have thought of a different topic I think “no, that’s boring.” But the fact is, there is really so much that is going […]
