Ruth's Mission Tales: Because of Bob
http://iwillgoruth.blogspot.com/2015/04/because-of-bob.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. This past week marked a year since the day when Bob crashed. We still look back and wonder, Why? We press forward, with the hope that one day it will all make sense. We are excited at the possibilities all of this could bring. Multiple small mission groups a year. We are also not in denial that it could mean a lot of work on our end too. Especially in the kitchen! 8230;…we don’t understand, but it is in part because of Bob. Thank you Bob and Jan (and kids) for the ...HopeWorksHope...

Ruth's Mission Tales: June 2015
http://iwillgoruth.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. Excuse #3. 99 IS too Old? I have recently been impressed with the FACT that there is NO good time to become a missionary. I mean if you are single, you may want a spouse. If you are recently married, you may need “time”. If you are having children……well who. Would want to expose them to a third world environment? If you have teens, will you dare disrupt their life? I think everywhere John goes, he is talked about. Not because he is heroic or famous. He is kind and bright&...Recen...

Ruth's Mission Tales: August 2014
http://iwillgoruth.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2014. The service carries on. About a quarter into the sermon, my mind can’t keep up translating, I loose the meaning. So I read my Bible. Glancing up to catch the pastor’s eye, every now and then. Encouraging Jacob and Nathaniel, who are giving me, “How much longer? My assistance was not needed. He was surrounded by people. I just stood while the service went on and I cried. One day, when I am finished with my mothering chapter (which is huge and so important)….I want to m...LetR...

Ruth's Mission Tales: Carrots, Dehydrator, & Delegation
http://iwillgoruth.blogspot.com/2015/05/carrots-dehydrator-delegation.html
Friday, May 15, 2015. Carrots, Dehydrator, and Delegation. So over the past month my mind has been grappling with HOW? And what can we do to make this work and simple. I was REALLY freaking out about this. When Darron said to me, “Don’t worry, I am sure Wendy will help you.” The second he said that, I KNEW his words were true. Sure enough, the next morning I asked Wendy. She is on board. Provision #1. 25 people = room in suitcases. Provision #4. October 1, 2015 at 11:30 PM. ON THE ROAD AGAIN. Who would h...

Saturday, August 22, 2015. Five not Six, Fiddlesticks. Our dear special education teacher is delayed in her return. Guess what Ruth, you get to pick up the pace, the need, the pressure, to educate and breath success to a brilliant dyslexic mind. Are d’s and b’s mixing? Are e’s and I’s sounding all the same? Fiddlesticks. Everything is fine. Everything is normal. We’ve got this. We can do this. 11 days? Whatever it takes, because that is what us Mommies do. PRAISE THE LORD. Is. 58:11 is true. Over the sum...

Ruth's Mission Tales: October 2014
http://iwillgoruth.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. Drunk at the Market, Failure at the Clinic. To the front of the market I arrive. 50 plus sellers sitting side by side, selling more goods. Can you imagine sitting on a cement floor all morning selling your cucumbers, your eggplant, your bananas, your squash? 8221; and I escaped again and headed for a very crowded place and weaved in and out of all the people, pushing through the crowd….saying, “Permisi, Permisi (excuse me, excuse me)”. Saturday, October 18, 2014. How about when ...

Ruth's Mission Tales: March 2015
http://iwillgoruth.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 27, 2015. Garlic Presses and Humble Servants. At 6:15 we called in all the pastors and children who had been enjoying roasting corn over a fire, talking and jumping on the trampoline. The food was quickly consumed. Many questions were asked and photo’s taken. The important discussion was finished and with crackers in hand to take home and share or a fresh tortilla stuffed with beans, the ladies each thanked me. Cheek to cheek. Heart to heart. I Wish I Were You. Over the past few months, sev...

Ruth's Mission Tales: Bites in the Night
http://iwillgoruth.blogspot.com/2015/05/bites-in-night.html
Friday, May 8, 2015. Bites in the Night. And then last night happened. I had fallen into a lovely deep sleep soon after 8:00 pm Later, I awaken, groggily itching. My leg, my thigh, my arm, my…… Tossing and turning. Hoping that the fiery itching would just stop. I scratch and doze. Soon the itching has awoken me fully. ANTS in my bed. Rats! I mean, ANTS! We drift off to sleep. By 5 am I awaken to a new dawn and more ants in our bed. We would love to see you while we are on furlough. Please message us ...

Ruth's Mission Tales: 12 Year Dream
http://iwillgoruth.blogspot.com/2015/08/12-year-dream.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. I love people who think outside of the box. Who dream big dreams and think creative thoughts. Whose minds spin in many different directions. I am married to someone like that. I also work under someone like that. Dr. Diane, whom we all affectionately call, Dr. Di. Dr Di asked if Wendy and I would be willing to teach the Helping Babies Breath program. We were game! Ibu Jeane was our excellent interpreter. Both Monday and Tuesday afternoon we presented. Not knowing how ma...On Mo...
