Author: Amber and Matthew
Helen Keller said, "life is either a daring adventure or nothing" - and so we've decided to live life as one ongoing adventure with each other, our kids, our God, and in community.
Po Slovensky
Language acquisition – a true adventure. Our greatest asset in language study – each other! Amber has a great ear and so her accent is much better. Our tutor constantly tells Amber she sounds “Slovak born” while she asks Matthew to repeat the pronunciation of Slovak’s soft consonants. Matthew however has a greater ability to… Read More Po Slovensky
The Complete Guide to Surprising Amber and Matthew
This video post is long overdue. It all took place in November of last year while at FUSE Young Adults Gathering in Kelowna, British Columbia.
God Speaks – With and Without an Accent
So this is my very first post. I usually leave the writing to Matthew, but he’s convinced me to try my hand at it. We’ve been in Slovakia for a little over three weeks now and I can honestly say that the transition to a new country, culture and language has been a good one.… Read More God Speaks – With and Without an Accent
Going, Going – Gone!
Buckle Up – here is the last month in a few paragraphs…. On January 7th the pace of our life was completely re-defined when we were given official permission to go. Within 24 hours we had booked tickets to Toronto and made our travel plans on to Slovakia. We found ourselves moving quickly to pack… Read More Going, Going – Gone!

We arrived safely at the end of January and have been moving quickly towards getting settled. Internet access is still a work-in-progress, so for now we just wanted you to know that… Read More Somewhere Over the Atlantic
We’re Leaving on a Jetplane
Though we got our un-official approval yesterday (to which there was much jubilation expressed in the forms of hugging, screaming and jumping around), it was made official today. We’ve been given the green light to go ahead with our transition to Slovakia! All missionaries with our organization need to raise at least 75% of their… Read More We’re Leaving on a Jetplane
"2007: The Year of Britney Spears"
I saw this headline on MSN news. Upon reading it my stomach convulsed, skin crawled, hair stood on end and my body displayed other such signs of nausea and revulsion. To me, there is no way the year 2007 is synonymous with the antics of Miss Spears. For me, 2007 is the year of my… Read More "2007: The Year of Britney Spears"
Merry Tuesday
Last night Matthew convinced a 7 year old girl that he was excited for December 25th because he loves Tuesdays… We trust that this Tuesday has been one worth remembering. Merry Christmas!
If you Cut me, do I not say "Ouch – Why did you do That?"
As we travelled, spoke and met new people over these past few weeks, we noticed that people engage us differently when we are introduced as a visiting missionary couple. As young adults, while out visiting, we are accustomed to sleeping bags and floor mats, yet we were received with such warmth and hospitality that we… Read More If you Cut me, do I not say "Ouch – Why did you do That?"
