I got tickled to hear the children practicing their Spanish, and each one correcting the other. One says, “That’s not how you say it.” Another says, “You don’t know what you’re saying.” A third, “No, they are saying it right.” A fourth, “Daddy, how do you really say it?”
At least they are practicing, [...]
Greetings friends! We have arrived in Lima and things are going well. The children were just great on our travel day (Tuesday, November 3rd). We awoke at 4am after three hours of sleep to load up all of our luggage and run to the airport. We crashed in bed (which [...]
Dear Friends,
We are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for our move to Peru. We will finish itineration in less than two weeks, and then it is time for packing. Everything is still going well with the visa process. We have reason to [...]
Dear friends,
Things are visibly wrapping up now. We were blessed to itinerate in Arizona over the last several weeks. While here, we completed one part of our visa application-the apostille process for two of the children’s birth certificates. We have to travel to the Peruvian consulate in Chicago next to get another [...]
Friends,
We are so close to finishing up deputation/itineration! Thanks for all the prayers. Our next step is to make the big move to Lima, Peru to finalize our resident visas. God has really blessed us with some great helpers in Lima. In July or August we plan to make a trip [...]
We have just wrapped up our final missions services for 2008 and are somewhere around 75% of our needed monthly support. We are now pausing as we await Judith’s final month of pregnancy and allow her time to recuperate after the birth before we begin itineration in 2009.
We plan to be itinerating in part [...]
Dear Friends, yesterday was a big day for us as we travelled up to Kansas City for Judith’s naturalization tests. It’s amazing to see God move down to the finite details. Beginning in May, the Lord spoke to us to submit the application. Just two days later the funds were given to [...]
Dear friends, I write to you today with great joy. A few days ago during our evening devotions at home, Caleb, our four year old, nestled up to me while we were praying and said in my ear, “Daddy, will you pray for me to be saved. I want to be saved.” I [...]
Dear Friends,
Just a quick note to let everyone know that we lost our baby. Judith had problems with the pregnancy early on, and was on bedrest for quite some time. We worked hard and prayed for God to spare our unborn child, but it was His will to [...]
Today marks the first day of the Barraclough Homeschool. Normally we start the second week of January and run through September or October, depdending on our travel schedule. (This year we are starting late due to arriving back from Peru last week.) For all you homeschoolers out there, I thought I’d share [...]
