The End of the Beginning: Part I – Oxygen Camp
How strange it is to be writing on US soil. Noah and I are nearly through our first full month of being back home, and so much has already happened! In order to cover everything that has taken place in our final weeks in Romania as well as our return, the events of the past…

Checking In Between Camps: The Final Days!
To pull a pop culture reference from Marvel, “We’re in the endgame now.” It’s absolutely insane to think that we are in the final weeks of our first year in Romania. So much has taken place in the past twelve months, and it certainly isn’t scheduled to slow down in this final month!

Heat of the Summer: Camps, Hangouts, and Preparations
Just as notable as the summer heat are the many activities and events that these sunny months bring along with them. To close out the month of June, not one, but two consecutive kid’s camps rang in the first weeks of the newly christened summer vacation for the youngsters. It was so much fun getting…

Jumping Into June!
As summer begins, we have so many things that we are thanking the Lord for, and there are also a great deal things on the horizon that we are incredibly excited about! This period of two and a half months is going to prove to be a pivotal time for us personally and for the…

The Marvelous Month of May
May has been… eventful. Some things you plan for, and some things you most certainly do not. We’ve certainly had our share of both! In every situation, the Lord continues to be so incredibly good, and we are perhaps more excited, energized, and active than at any point in our journey thus far.

It’s springtime in Oradea, and what a joy it has been! I must say, after years of living in Portland, where it is still raining up to this day (not to even mention Montana… pretty sure it’s still snowing over there), it has been a real treat to get to enjoy consistently sunny weather and…

The Halfway Point: God’s Movement in the First 6 Months
What a couple of months it has been to start out the year! Life has certainly been exciting in the past weeks, and we are incredibly excited to report on the many things that have been going on! Since the previous report came at the start of January, this post will detail the primary scenes…

December: Abridged
Happy 2024 from us here in Oradea!! I do believe that as we are now in a new year, some New Year’s Resolutions are in order. I won’t bore you with the laundry list of things I promise to do this year, but I’ll pepper in a few. My resolutions include, but are not limited to:…

November: Live(ish)!
Greetings, and happy December! As the holiday season begins to roll in, Noah and I are astounded to think that we are now a quarter of the way through this year-long journey in Romania. At three months in, we find ourselves dumbfounded by the grace and goodness of God. It has been about as promising…

The Craziest Week: Ukraine, the Eucharist, and Visas
In the past, we had promised that these updates would be coming out every other week, so I pray that we could be forgiven for leaving two weeks between posts. To be quite honest, we easily could have published last week, but we were well aware that the juiciest and most exciting bits would be…
