    Halfway through Summer Camp!

    Happy Friday, all! I would like to start this post with a few words of praise and thank each and every one of you for your prayers. We can definitely feel them even though we are 13,500 kilometers (8400 miles for you guys) away! First: The Car (Well, truck to be exact) We have received…

    Life of Weirs Update

    We are so sorry! It has been a very busy time as we finish shadowing and try to grasp the expectations in our new roles. To say there is a lot to learn is an understatement, as we are having to completely relearn everything from cultural norms, academic expectations, and even the level of autonomy…

    The Festival of Water

    This past week, our school celebrated Songkran. A water festival in Thailand that is their traditional New Year.

    Figuring it all out…somewhat.

    Two weeks have passed since we arrived at Manorom, and what a journey it has been.

    24 Hours Towards Our New Life

    What a journey it has already been! A 15-hour plane ride, a two-hour layover, and another 6 hours on a plane as we move toward our calling in Thailand. Traveling with three children should have been stressful, but honestly, they took it all in stride with only the occasional complaint of being tired or the…

  • Our Mission and Vision

    Our Mission and Vision

    Salt and Light In Matthew, Jesus says we are to be salt and light in the world around us. Salt does no good in a container sitting on the table. It is only when it is poured out, away from its safe container and surrounded by identical grains, that it can do its job in…

  • A Taste of Thailand

    A Taste of Thailand

    We have arrived back in the US after nearly two weeks in Thailand, and what a blessing it was to see our home for the foreseeable future. This trip had two objectives: to support our missionary family, who have been serving in Thailand for the last 4 years, and to visit the school where Jessica…
