October had some ups and downs but that’s how life goes. This post is full of random tidbits from throughout the month. Some of these ups and downs are quite literal. The Vinde kids and I are working on our song for the Christmas party. Of course, I had to get up on the desk... Continue Reading →
The Rest of September
I pretty much just rested all day on Friday. I gave the boys their small gifts from the trip and chilled. Some of the candy was a hit but a lot was not. It was like playing a game of Bean Boozled. Tucker actually liked the tingly feeling of the jambu. Weirdo. 😉 Saturday I... Continue Reading →
Belém->Breves->Melgaço->and Back
Get comfy, this may take a while… a long while. Go grab a pumpkin latte, I’m sure they’re being served by now. I do miss autumn in the States, but I digress. I thought about breaking this into smaller posts but then just rolled with one long post. Sorry, not sorry. So anyhoots, this is... Continue Reading →

It’s Been a Busy Month
A lot has happened in the past few weeks. Mason has really came out of his shell and is now a social fella. So, he comes to me and says, “Hey mom, the teens want me to go to Centro with them tonight. Can I go?” They often go with Liandro and the interns so... Continue Reading →
May So Far
Well, Fall English camp is in the books. The boys left us Thursday for camp. They had an amazing time. The staff always does a great job. Tucker was always upfront in the mix. They learned about having rooted faith. I love when Mason loosens up and has fun. Mason and Tuck were on different... Continue Reading →
Family Came to Visit and Easter
We were so excited when Papaw and Nana came for a visit. They were on a mission trip to Bolivia and decided to come visit us before heading home. The great thing is we got to spend time with them. The bad thing is, since we were just enjoying them being here, I didn’t stop... Continue Reading →
A Week in the Life of a Team
Go grab a cup of coffee and get comfy for this post. There’s some good stuff in here. We are well into the semester now. Trevor and I have been working on photos for Moyo child sponsorship and putting all the new Imperial location kids into the system. No need to bore you with a... Continue Reading →
