What we have learned

2011-04-30T16:42:00.001-06:00

What have I learned? I write this for missionaries or Christians, who come to places in their life where the Lord has closed the doors and it seems our life as we have known it, must change. This can happen when we lose our job, home, or a close family member. The details can vary, but the way you find God's will in those circumstances is how we learn to come to a better understanding

Friday, September 10, 2010 Dear Family, As most of you know I just returned today from a trip to Honduras to get a satellite system. I took my wife and kids to the airport on Wednesday at 5:00 AM, deposited the new oxygen bottle and all the things (250 lbs of stuff) we have purchased for the last few days into the airplane, and went back into the airport terminal. I changed out of my uniform,

Dear Family, Yesterday, August 26: I left at 8:00 AM with a load of tin roofing for Tasba Pain, 1 hour drive away. There was a bridge out, so the tin and tools had to be carried the last 1/2 mile to the church. I left a watchman with the truck. I was putting the roofing on the church veranda, the one the group that was here last month helped to build. The tin went on well, and it was done in

Feb 14, 2010 Dear Family, We have been quite busy the last few weeks. I spent a nice 5 days working with Steve Long on the airplane doing the annual the end of January. Steve is the head of all the mechanics at Wings of Hope out of St. Louis, who helps us keep the plane flying. When we were done with the very extensive annual, we flew to Managua (2 ½ hrs) because I needed to organize

Dear Family and Friends, Several wonderful things have happened with us lately. The most amazing is that we now have full time high-speed Internet at our house here in Tronquera! It took a week of work checking land contours, an hour of flying the plane checking signals, and then it took 2 days to cut a trail into the jungle to the top of a hill, where we put a repeater.

It turns out there was another lady

June 11, 2005Dear Family and Friends, A lot has happened since I wrote my last letter. From May 24 until June 3 we had a group of nurses from Union College. Their work was a blessing; seeing almost 1500 patients in 7 day of consulting. In total their 10 days were well spent with the Miskito people and in the Miskito culture. At the same time the group was here, Bob and Ingrid Hirschi (TRAC

It was very slow progress, partly because we did not have a good place for her to stay during the last part of labor. She was at the clinic so that we wouldn't have to transport her at the last minute when it was time for the baby. However, the

December 18, 2004Our little family visited the States from November 10 to December 10 for Marilyn's sister, Katherine's, wedding. The time before we left was a flurry, getting all the projects we were working on finished. We finished making 600 cement blocks for a cement house in the village. We also bought wood and started construction to finish a house for some orphans and old people that was
