Well I’m back in MA now. The week with my mom sped by. It was a surprisingly fun and relaxing week spent at the rehab hospital. I got to hang out with Mom and also my relatives who came to visit her. Who would have thought that helping one stroke patient would be easier than […]

Mom’s progress
Hi there. I realized that it’s rather dramatic to ask for prayer on a serious matter then disappear. I’ve gotten to CA without incident. My days so far have been spent with my mom. Though the circumstances bringing me here are not of my choice, I’m enjoying the time with her and my relatives who […]
untethered
Yesterday we returned from our first family camping trip. I think you can count it a success if you omit the fact that O had a fever most of the time and that the lake had bacteria in the “at your own risk” levels. After a very full summer, it was a nice change of […]
Summer Camp–pondering culture
We are finishing up the first full day of Summer Camp here in Sweden. It is strange to type that as it seems so much longer than that. We now are sharing the campus with a total of 400 people. Ethnically, the attendees are Chinese, Nordics married to Chinese and the kids of the adults. […]
a painful lesson
In the evening bathroom rush, I gave myself a lesson in pain: I closed the door on my finger. As the only adult in the house, I realized that I needed a strategy to deal with the pain. Howling helped only a bit and the ice pack didn’t deliver relief but intensified the pain. I […]
cantaloupe?
We finally harvested and cut into the mystery melon. It was very fragrant but Evan told me that it tasted watery. I’m allergic to cantaloupes so I took his word on it. I suppose that it needed more time to ripen but the neighborhood creatures had started getting to it. We are back in the […]
team arrives today
Hello friends, the Sweden mission team from BCEC arrives this afternoon. Please pray for their travels and for their adjustment when they get here. Thanks!
second full day
This evening ends our second full day in Sweden. This is training week and we’ve been spending time with leaders serving in next week’s summer camp. I can’t speak much for the training itself but I can share about the missions program I’m doing with my kids. The boys have been receptive to learning about […]
arrived!
Hello, we arrived in Sweden yesterday morning. Praise God, it was uneventful. Uneventful is good. The kids managed an overnight flight, 2 hour layover in Amsterdam, 1.5 hour flight and a 2 hour train ride. We are enjoying the company and fellowship of the leaders here. As I type, the kids are playing uno with […]
our trip to Sweden
We are just a few weeks away from leaving for our mission trip to Sweden. I shared a bit about it here. Things are shaping up, paperwork has been filed, items are getting ticked off our lists but there is so much more left to do. We’d appreciate prayer as we prepare and also as […]
