This is My Nose!

"This is my head!" continued Anthony pointing to his 'cabeza' as he taught parts of the body to his small group. Anthony Reimer is a pastor from Mary Beth's church in Blumenort, Manitoba. He and his wonderful wife, Susan, came to visit us last week. They played an integral part in…

I think she'll come to church!

"How is she going to get here? It's 4 km from her house." Mary Beth reasoned. "I think she'll come. She has her ways to getting around." "She doesn't even have a watch!" "Maybe she can look at a cell phone or watch the sun. She's smart. She's found ways to…

Well, Deep Subject

A week ago, Allen and I were passing through the La Punta plaza on our way home after a nice run and we noticed an elderly Quechua lady smashing bottles and putting them into a bag. Though she was obviously suffering from poverty, my attention was drawn to her two extremely happy dogs. …

I'm not Dead yet!

Every year I try to file my taxes electronically and every year I get the message, "We cannot accept your return because the primary tax filer is deceased in our records." In May, while we were in the States recovering from our surgeries at the Mayo Clinic I called the IRS to get Mary Beth's…

Mary Beth has been Disbarred in Arizona!

After a 4-hour delay to Mary Beth's surgery start time, they were able to get her bars out without problems (only a 45-minute surgery) and she is back 'home' in San Tan Valley. STV is a suburb of Phoenix and one of Mia's college roommate's great aunt and uncle are Brad and Denise Morris who…

Bikes and Board Games

Tuesday night is game night at our house. It's a time that people from our church to get together for ping pong or Settlers of Catan and to invite friends. Last week we had no one come! This week we had 19 people come! La Punta is a flat coastal town great for biking, so our…

One Year!

As of last week, we have been in Punta de Bombón a year! It's been a great year with a lot going on: starting a new church, buying a house (remodeling the kitchen), getting Allen's heart ablated, seeing the town change from quiet chilly winter months to warm summer days full of tourists…

Mission Impossible

Sunday we had a new couple, J & C, visit our church. They are elderly but smiley. "How did you come to hear about our church?" I asked after the service. "We saw the sign hanging outside the church." I'm not sure if it is a cultural thing or maybe they have something to…

The Lord is Watching over his People

“Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen.” - Hebrews 11:1 Greetings from sleepy Punta de Bombón. We are told that at this time of year this place is usually hopping with tourists coming out to enjoy the vast beaches, but…
