Another day goes by on the island. Heading home from working at our nutrition center, looking carefully all around my car as I drive slowly through the community of San Pablo. Home to our Project Mañana nutrition center, school and our partner community church, Iglesia Evangelica Punto Central. It’s very common that most days in […]

Moving to a new country comes with opportunities for new experiences. Many of my favorite experiences involve food. If I say 4th of July cookout you think __________, if I say Thanksgiving you think __________ or if I say Superbowl party you think__________. We have been blessed to try many new foods here in the […]

Well, here we are, a missionary family in the Dominican Republic with Project Mañana, passing up just recently being here for 9 months! It’s hard to believe. What a time of refinement on my end from the Lord, in these uncertain times happening all over the world. Tomorrow would have ended our mandated quarantine but […]

Trust me, I’m not complaining, I don’t […]

Speaking of broken, first I have to tell you a pretty funny story! (I know, not what you were expecting;) Time is certainly flying by for us down here in the Dominican Republic. We are almost finished with our first round of Spanish classes, Christmas is right around the corner and it officially feels a […]

Many things have happened since we last shared with you all. For one, we are finally here in the Dominican Republic! We praise God for His amazing blessings and protection! Our family woke up at 3AM in Cincinnati, OH on August 19th, 2019 and arrived in Santiago, Dominican Republic at 1AM on August 20th. What […]
