There are three “mile stones” for us to pass before we leave the USA for Poland. The first is to grow our family, we hope to have one more child before leaving, if we end up being fully fund-raised and w/o another child, then we’ll probably move to Poland and grow our family in the[…]
Here are some last pictures from our trip to Seattle. They HAD to take a ferry. We insisted. 🙂 I think it’s impossible to go to Seattle on a summer day and not fall in love with the city.
We were given FABULOUS Mariner tickets by my dad and step-mom for our Polish friends to experience an all American baseball game. And it was fabulous. In every way. No kids, great weather and the best seats I’ve ever had. Oh and it gets better- we actually won! It was a fabulous time and we[…]

There are days when it hits us harder than other days. Feelings of being disjointed and held back. When the thing we want the most is to wake up to a morning in Krakow. See our friends there, go to language school, walk their streets and make a close relationship with their culture. These heartfelt[…]
One of the key values of our mission to Poland is building meaningful relationships. Relationships built on God’s kingdom and values. The core to meaningful relationships is interdependency, the idea that we all need one another. Church should reflect a family system, the idea that we are there for each other in spite of circumstances.[…]
Simply put “missions” is Matthew 28:18-20 “18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the[…]

There is a constant tug of war with my attentions and heart when it comes to Poland and living here. Take preschool for Emma. Travis and my hope was to enroll her into preschool IN Poland. Not here. But as our plans changed, so did the details- like Emma’s preschool. Yet through all the changes our[…]
We have not been good at updating people in the past six months in regards to our plans with Poland. This has been somewhat intentional, and somewhat because we’re not really sure how to address everything. In short, we are still 100% on board for becoming full time missionaries to Poland. Our vision and goals[…]
“No matter where you move to, you better like some of the food. Other wise you’re toast.” Just some special very wise words I got from a missionary friend. 🙂 But this got me thinking about my, me being Alexis, first couple trips to Poland. I went to some of the traditional places that basically[…]
