Though we live and work in Europe, we’re still Canadian and Canada is close to our hearts. Sometimes we have a thought about Canada; sometime we’re even in Canada.
“GET US OUT OF HERE” was the background narrative to everything we did back in 2006. On the verge of getting married, our sights were set on moving overseas. We wanted Canada in our rear-view and everyday our mantra was, “Europe or bust”. By mid-2007 we were married and we began 2008 in Slovakia. Mission… Read More The Sent Need the Senders who Need the Sent
After 6 weeks on Canada’s West Coast, we’re back in the Big Mango, and we’re trying to parent our way through the cultural flip-flop! For our kids to be culturally aware and socially intelligent is a high priority for us. Equipping them with tools to navigate their fluid cultural identities needs to be one of… Read More Thailanada
The process of leaving – it’s not an easy one. If I’m (Amber) perfectly honest, saying goodbye is something I dread, something I put off. I get extremely emotional, sometimes to a ridiculous point, and as I’m trying to tell my kids that we are going on a great adventure to Thailand, my tears just… Read More You say Goodbye, and I say Hello
Eat the watermelon, spit out the seeds. Cherry pick the good stuff. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Buy the trail mix, only eat the chocolate (or maybe that’s just Matthew). Regardless of how it’s said, we human folk have an understanding of the word discernment – take what is good and FILTER… Read More FILTER | SPONGE | FUNNEL
“how goes your interruption?” “interruption” “itineration…haha” The autocorrected text message from a friend read truer than intended. ITINERARTION, though Latin for “journey”, is used by Global Workers to describe when we travel to connect with current supporters, meet with potential investors, and report back on what is happening and what is coming. It also means… Read More AutoCorrect Was Rather Correct
When it comes to transitioning to another country, life begins to feel like trying to solve an equation with multiple unknown variables. Like any good marriage, we bring different skills to the table. Amber knows how to math while Matthew finds algebra abhorrent. Despite the disparity in our mathematical prowess, there has been a lot… Read More The Variables List
HistoryMaker (youth convention) has been a formative part of our journey. This is true for the Prices and the Wylies. While Amber and Zach were in Thailand, Megan and I (Matthew) were honoured to be a part of the Saturday evening session. With nearly 2,000 students in the room from the Yukon, BC, and Alberta,… Read More Megan and Matthew Shared at HistoryMaker 2016
TCK is a term now making regular appearances in our parenting conversations. It won’t be long now and we will be raising Third Culture Kids (TCK). Our little ones will never be fully Canadian as they grow up away from Canada, but they will never be fully Thai as they will come home to Canadian… Read More TCK’s Start at Home
Though standing in the foyer of the middle school where our church-plant meets, we found ourselves in a familiar situation we haven’t encountered for awhile. It came during a conversation with a lady we had struck up a conversation with while getting coffee. It progressed though all of the usual “nice to meet you” questions… Read More Just Like Riding a Bicycle
It was this time last year when she told us. We were driving home from watching the fireworks in North Vancouver when our friend Kimberlee shared with us what the doctors suspected. It wasn’t long before the test results were in and the medical assumptions became medical facts: Kim has MS. Her journey is so… Read More Muck You
