We and the Joneses have begun work at the Knoxville Planned Parenthood. Yesterday was our first time. Jeremi, Chris and I met at Planned Parenthood (PP) on Tuesday morning just before they opened at 9:00 (Tami needed to stay at home yesterday morning and spent the whole morning in prayer for us. We are confident …

We are in Frankfurt and about to board. Just one lost bag, but we have all the kiddos? We will all be home soon. Hooray!

This is just a collection of pictures from our week: Our kids had a lot of motorcycle rides while here in India? Stephanie and Adah with the ladies we teach in the mornings. Our kiddos have enjoyed playing with this little girl, Keerti, a lot! Her parents work on campus. Vasu (programmer Jeremi is training) …

The ladies hit the ground running yesterday morning. Right after breakfast Shere and Janie spent sometime with the high school girls and talked with them about nursing (many of them are interested in becoming nurses).

We have a family tradition that Jeremi takes the birthday kiddo to breakfast and Todd, an American from Texas, heard Ianna tell us she wanted to go to McDonalds for her birthday breakfast. Well, McDonalds is not to be found here in …

Today is Ianna’s 7th birthday, so in honor of that this post is for the kiddos. Just some little facts and pictures of people and animals and bugs that we have seen over on this side of the globe. I realized that I haven’t posted any pictures of Simpson and Ruth’s children. Our children enjoy …

On Tuesday we had the privilege of going to one of the orphanages as a family. That was lots of fun and so awkward at the same time! We were seated at the front and asked to give them a short lecture on studying hard and loving God and then a prayer for them, that …
