I am so excited to be posting a blog within one month of my last one! That is a definite improvement in my record. The month of April was very busy and included a wonderful and much-needed visit from my parents. I had not seen my dad in 15 months and I was missing him […]
We Are Still Here
Were you wondering if we had fallen of the edge of the earth? Or maybe taken a long hike out to Maasai land never to be seen or heard from again? Well, it is nothing that glamorous. We are just busy plugging away at every day life. Everything is actually going exceptionally well here in […]
Homeschooling – The Perfect Circle
Most of you who read this blog probably know that I was home schooled from second grade until I graduated high school. Matt was also home schooled off and on as well as attending various private schools (his family moved several times), a couple of which were started or run by his parents. Unlike most […]
2015 Year End Slideshow
We have had a great year filled with construction and well digging and new babies. The girls have grown in all ways and are thriving. Thank you for making it possible for us to be a part of this ministry in Arusha, Tanzania. Enjoy the pictures and make sure to push play to hear the […]
The 2nd Year Review
It is so hard to believe that yesterday marked the day of our arrival in Arusha, Tanzania two years ago! The time has simply flown by and we continue to be so blessed with the opportunity to continue to serve at Neema House. The task of writing about the 2015 is even more daunting than […]
The Heart of the Matter
There comes a point in every bloggers life where you just have to give up and say, I am not going to be able to update you on everything that has happened since I last wrote. It is like that email that someone sent you, or the text, or the phone call that you meant […]
Joys of the Week
I wanted to share with you some of our joys the past week. Pineapple, mango, avocado, banana and passion fruit all bought from the local fruit stand, except for the passion fruit, which was picked from a vine at our neighbor’s house. It is the season for these fruits, and it is marvelous. Everything is […]
Home Again!
It is hard to believe that our trip to the states has come and gone. Our visit was intensely blessed by time shared with those we love. We were able to spend time with friends and family and touch base with many of you who have been following and supporting us on our African adventure. […]
Touched Down on American Soil
We are here! It is so good to be with family. We have spent the last week in California, catching up Matt’s siblings and parents. It has been great to watch the kids play and get to know each other. Tabitha did not remember much at all about her passport country, so it has been […]
End Of The Year
This is the third time I have edited this blog due to time slipping away so quickly. The last forty days have been packed full of more trials than we have experienced in the previous eleven months. We have had sickness and death visited upon Neema House and our own house. It has definitely been […]
