We had a mostly glorious week this past week with one major exception. You’ll remember Travis and Emily Mitten who had to return to the U.S. because of Emily’s incredibly difficult pregnancy. We learned last Wednesday that they lost the baby. She is still carrying it and and we are all praying that her body [...]

On Wednesday, when Mildred changed the hummingbird feeder, I happened to have the camera ready. I was really hoping that one of them would land on her finger again, but it didn’t happen. One of them was thinking about it, though! Later in the week, I changed the feeder and had the camera in one [...]

Yes, indeed, we are now on the air all day in English and all day in Spanish. The liftoff was this morning and went off without a hitch. We go on the air at 5:00 AM, so Peter and I both got there a little ahead of time to move the AM feed to the [...]

There’s never a dull moment around here – if you haven’t already figured that out. But I’m excited to be able to get this audio update to you so early in the week in spite of the busyness around here. Peter is over in San Pedro Sula today, tomorrow, and Wednesday doing some video work [...]

Our “dual language” project is moving right along. It began with rebuilding an almost new computer to feed audio to the AM transmitter. (Right now we have one computer that feeds both transmitters.) The broadcast software we use now has been discontinued, so we had to get a new version. Sadly, the new version does [...]

The good news is that we went to yet another funeral yesterday. Read on and you’ll understand why I call it good news. We’d been expecting this one for a while. Cora Wood was “Aunt Cora” to everyone who knew her. She had a special affinity for the teens of Oak Ridge and taught a [...]

A couple weeks ago Mildred and I rode the Galaxy to La Ceiba, over on the mainland. We talk about the Galaxy (aka the Vomit Comet) quite often. Here’s a look at what it’s like to go from here to La Ceiba on the Galaxy. Later on I plan to make a brief video about [...]

We have visitors! A team from a church in Livonia, Michigan is here to help with the painting. It’s a group of young people from a church that supports the Silseths, and they are some great workers. They just started on Monday and as of the end of today, they did some finish painting on [...]

I guess that’s what you call it when you both get two intestinal viruses and an intestinal bacterial infection, all at the same time. When Dr. Raymond brought our medicines here to the house, he asked, “Where did you get all this stuff?!” referring, of course, to the bugs, not the meds he’d just brought [...]

It’s been a bit of a wild and woolly week so far. We lost electricity for about 12 hours the other day and night and for the better part of a week the power has been off and on like the lights in a room where a 3-year old just discovered the light switch. I [...]

We went to the Annual Conference of the Bay Island Baptist Churches yesterday. It actually started on Thursday, but we had various things that kept us away until Sunday morning. This year, they had what I think is the best speaker in years. Dr. Randy Von Kanel, a missionary pastor in the Cayman Islands, was [...]

We had a bit of a gap in our week here. Mildred and I took a ride on the Galaxy, aka the Vomit Comet, over to La Ceiba on Wednesday to get some medical tests done and also some shopping. As you will see, it was a good thing we planned to make it an [...]
