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!

We’ve learned to laugh at ourselves and the situations we find ourselves in. Why shouldn’t you enjoy these moments too?
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?"
Promises, Promises
We have been on a little tour-de-force in central British Columbia. It is by far the most scenic part of the entire province. While in Burns Lake we met a super fantastic group of youth. Stuart is one of those youth. Regailing Matthew with stories of all things gross and vomit based, Matthew felt that… Read More Promises, Promises
Stereotypes – Never What you Wanted to Be
Growing up it seemed as though missionaries were always just getting back from somewhere or just about to leave for somewhere else (if not both). We would smirk to ourselves and say “we will never be that kind of missionary”. Yet, here we are, off a plane and into a car! Thus proving some stereotypes… Read More Stereotypes – Never What you Wanted to Be
Gut Wrenching
Leaving Turkey yesterday Matthew had a slight rumble in his tummy – no, not intuition, but rather a sickly rumble. By the time we had cleared passport control Matthew knew his stomach was unwell. His very first act in Austria was to push a German-speaking man out of his way in a charge towards the… Read More Gut Wrenching
A Scented Afterthought
Following our last post, we were driving through the Fraser Valley out to Chilliwack and the ripe smells of freshly fertilized fields had filled the air. We guess that distinct smell will remind us of home even when we do not want it to!
HUMOUR: Never What You Expect it to Be
Recently, while out with some friends celebrating a birthday, I came to the realization that I really like laughing. For those who have spent any amount of time with me, the realization that I laugh at myself (or the things I do or do not do) is soon to follow. I believe the saying goes,… Read More HUMOUR: Never What You Expect it to Be
We are SO Married
June 9th was everything we could have wanted and more. Though the skies decided to provide their own version of light refreshments, the day was wonderful. It truly is powerful, overwhelming and energizing to see family and friends all displaying their love and support by their presence. We were honoured to have people who came… Read More We are SO Married
From Rain to Sun to Snow
In a true display of unpredictable West Coast weather, the past three days have brought everything from glorious (and much needed) sunshine, to rain, to hail and now there are huge, fluffy snowflakes falling to the ground. It is the perfect day to enjoy the great indoors – despite the fact that there is work… Read More From Rain to Sun to Snow
No Laughing Matter, Well Maybe
Back in BC just in time for the weather to release its fury once more! My time in the tropics of Ontario was great. It was exciting to see friends and family. It was also wonderful to have Amber come and spend some time in my part of the country. We flew back together (that… Read More No Laughing Matter, Well Maybe
