Let the blogging begin!

Well, here goes nothing. I have to tell you that I hate writing. and I don't say this lightly. I really mean it. For me to have to write a paper or put my thoughts into any kind of written form is a form of torture. When picking a major in college I narrowed it down to any subject that didn't require writing, so I ended up with one of the sciences, Physics to be precise. Give me a problem to solve or an equation - no problem. But writing anything?

Ok, here we are at Potter's Field Ministries Ranch to receive Missionary training, so that we can go to Uganda and help out there and what do they tell me: you need to communicate, communicate, communicate! Hey, I just wanted them to give me a job and let me do it, but no, in order to stay connected and keep people informed, we have to Facebook, blog, journal, email, write letters, and send out newsletters. And all this requires the written form of communication. Can't I just Skype everyone?

So, this blog is designed to give all of you that are interested some insight into our family and our journey first to and then in Uganda. I pray that this will bless you and maybe even interest you to pursue ministry further. It is a blessing and a privilege to do work for the Lord full time and it would not be possible without the prayers and support of so many of you. I am truly humbled the Lord wants to use us/me and my only prayer is that we have the kind of heart that He can use for His kingdom.

Alright then, so stay tuned to this blog as we will update periodically what is going on in our lives. Write back to us if you have any insights or questions.

God bless,
Raoul, Ingrid, Eric, Francesca, Hannah, Nathan, Benjamin
