It's all good?

I realized it might appear from what I write that our mission life is always super awesome, which a lot of the time it is. Truly. But, it's important that you know that there are times that fill the role of opposition.

We don't discover delights without frequent fails.

In the summer of life, you sometimes get a thunderstorm; sometimes lightning strikes too close to home.



Not all bridge selfies captivate the way you envisioned them.


Sometimes you cut things a little too close and barriers are unyielding.


Sometimes you cancel a baptism and four of your most interested people ghost you in one week.




I love this saying, probably not by Winston Churchill, but profound nonetheless:
"If you find yourself going through Hell...keep going."

Fabulous! I am sure that Poland is so glad that you had visa problems!!! That is the way we felt about Cambodia and also that is the way we have felt about this new assignment with the Church History Library. We have been able to learn so many cool things about Church History. Seriously something for you to think about doing.... Church Service Missionary from home...2-3 days a week!
We got our exit packet this week. It is hard to believe that it has been 18 months already. We are so grateful that we came here and met the Bridges! A mission highlight!
Love to you.... always thinking of you!
