Hi friends! Things on campus are still pretty well locked-down because of the Covid cases, so we’ve spent a lot of time at home this week, trying not to drive each other totally crazy. That means, our kids have built some forts… Done lots of kindergarten work… And read books - Ruth read this one … Continue reading Friday Faves

Some weeks, we get to share lots of fun photos and exciting things that happened: ministry events, Bible studies, family outings, and more. Then other weeks, we get to meekly report that we left our apartment one time in five days in order to check the mail (and that only happened after we were told … Continue reading Some Weeks…

Here are some highlights from the week: Nearly everyday, Ruth and Clara are playing outside with their sweet friend. They like to go to the “basketball poops,” … Continue reading Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! It’s been a full and fun and exhausting week for us (which is normal, I guess). Here are some of our favorites!

Week one of in-person class is in the books! Allen’s Advanced class is moving along at a nice clip. His accent is improving, his vocabulary is increasing, and he’s making great strides. Meanwhile, I spend mornings in Bible survey and theology classes, trying to understand the French terminology. Afternoons are in other French classes to … Continue reading Five Photos on Friday
