Christmas 2023
The week running up to Christmas brought a bit of relief from the torrid pace of the last two weeks although there was still a lot going on Monday and Tuesday.

This past week was no exception. Monday evening we went to Asouyeboa, Tuesday we were in Dichemso, Wednesday was University … Continue reading Interviews III

In 1971, the band Three Dog Night released a hit single titled, Family of Man. Back in those days, I was a fan and later even attended a concert at the Idaho State University Minidome in Pocatello, Idaho on March 28, 1977 (which also happened to be my parents 24th wedding anniversary!). I don't remember … Continue reading The Family of Man
Hesed
When nothing out of the ordinary happens during a week, I often turn to the weekly letter to the missionaries for a blogpost title. And this week that letter was titled "hesed".
