I wanted to write a little about God’s supply and the part it plays in a Family missionary’s life. I guess a life like this is lived all by faith, and finances are really no exception. I recently had an experience (well, I’ve had many but this is one is particularly fresh in my memory) [...]
Joni writes: Having five children is definitely teaching me a lot! I have to be honest that sometimes I’m overwhelmed and feel frustrated that I can’t get to some of the things I need to do.

(Even though the new ones are written by Maria or Peter they’re still referred to as Mo Letters.) So anyway, I was reading on the topic of going on feelings and emotions, and I was convicted when I [...]
Some time ago when I was really looking forward to that celebrated day, my boyfriend said to me, “You know, Valentines’ Day is just so overrated.” We’d just had an argument about some nonsense or other, and that last comment got me really annoyed.
