Scaling mountains, part 2

August 22nd, 2006 | By Nyx living in Philippines | More from Nyx

So after I sent in that last post, I was fishing for something inspirational to read. One of the blogs I stalk has a bunch of that on it, and this quote which was posted jumped out at me, like the perfect solution to my problem. (Jesus:) There are many ways that I work in [...]

B.L.A.S.T. is a yearly camp that The Family International in Mexico organizes for its members ages 14 through18. It is one of the big highlights of the year, so we’re all looking forward to October rolling around… yes, I include myself because I want to go as staff! That means that we’re hoping to send [...]

Fun and games

August 20th, 2006 | By Vas and Joni living in Mexico | More from Vas and Joni

Joni: We had a great time playing games last night in our home. We played a game that was an interesting mix of Pictionary and Charades. Instead of having a time limit, we just kept score of the time it took for the team in turn to guess. It was good to laugh so much. [...]

Introducing Florecita!

August 17th, 2006

Benji was our “Latin correspondant” until events overtook him; he was so busy actually being a missionary that he found little time to blog about it. Now, this in no way implies that our current LTC bloggers have actual “free” time on their hands. They’re all taking extra time to write about their experiences and [...]

I’m 24 years old, and haven’t blogged in a while so please bear with me while I get back in gear. I’m having a rather difficult time finding [...]

Joni writes: My Frances is growing up. She is 11 months now and walking quite well. She took her first steps at 10 months. Vas and I just knew that she would walk early as she is what you may call an “extremely lively” child. Ahem! She’s a bit of a handful, but doesn’t that [...]

Scaling mountains

August 15th, 2006 | By Nyx living in Philippines | More from Nyx

You know those days when you have so much, yet so little to blog about? Or maybe it’s just that there are so many scattered things, that picking up the pieces, rearranging the letters, and forming sentences that actually make sense sounds more tedious than doing it. This week has been one big blur of [...]

Have you ever experienced a sixth sense where you just have a feeling about something so strongly that you can’t put it off? Well, I guess in The Family International we refer to that as God’s voice in our hearts, but I want to tell you about this experience I just had during one of [...]

New volunteers

In the last 5 months, 4 new full time volunteers have joined our Family International home. They have added so much to our home, it would be hard to cover it all here. First of all they keep us on our toes and remind us to really live what we preach, so that’s always a [...]
