Returning Home – Part VII
Tomorrow, we start our trip back to Kansas. This morning Michael and I got a taxi ride to Baganuur. It’s about a two hour drive each way. We got to see the beautiful new (two years old) church building that has been built there. I’ve been amazed at how much has changed in terms of

Returning Home – Part VI
Warning: This post is pretty boring, but I wanted to record the events. A lot has happened. Today is Thursday. Michael and I got here a week ago. It’s hard for me to remember all of it, actually. There were many obstacles. We are starting a business in Mongolia. When I first got here, the

“I don’t have to be perfect; I just have to be brave.”
Isn’t it an injustice that you can’t type on this in Times New Roman? I don’t know what to do with myself, I’m in unfamiliar sans-serif territory. Among other things. Anyway, this is Lucy, if you couldn’t tell. My parents have been encouraging me to share my thoughts on “the whole Mongolia thing” seeing as

Mother’s Day and the Plan
This Mother’s Day feels different somehow. Maybe it’s because I am a grandmother now. Maybe it’s because circumstances are different from many other Mother’s Days. Maybe it is my outlook. In the past, I have thought of Mother’s Day as a day off, or as a day to be honored, which it can be those

Returning Home – Part V
I’m in a guest house (airbnb) in Ulaanbaatar not far from where I lived 25 years ago when I lived here as a missionary. I came here with Michael Jones who is my brother-in-law (my wife’s sister’s husband). I felt like I should see if someone should come with me this time, and Michael said

Returning Home – Part IV
I am struggling today. I’ll be traveling to Mongolia in less then a month. I’ll stay for around 10 days. I go there to hopefully get some answers about how we can stay there. I don’t know why, but I felt like I should bring someone along. Maybe it was because I’m wanted to go

Elora
On March 30th, Mia and Matthew welcomed little Elora. We are so grateful both Mia and Elora are healthy and happy. Elora will hopefully be coming home from the hospital this week once she is able to eat on her own. Well, not on her own. She’s not cooking for herself yet. There is something

A couple more answers to prayers
There are a quite a few things that we are trying to figure out in regards to our move to Mongolia, but there are two somewhat significant things that have happened recently that have been an answer to our prayers. Lucy is just finishing up her junior year of high school and so she is

Moving forward
Just jumping on here to share a few of my feelings at present. We are still moving forward with what we know–that we need to go to Mongolia. We are not sure on the how. We have purchased tickets in August. We all have passports. We are trying to downsize. There are many of what

Returning Home – Part III
We reserved a Vrbo apartment for the month we arrive in Mongolia. It’s nice to have a place to land when we get there. It’s strange to write all of this out in the open, but here goes. I love my Heavenly Father. He plays an active role in my life. He is interested in
