We've Moved!

We've moved from this blog to posting updates in our Facebook Group, Applegate Ministry Updates.  Our plan is to give more frequent, more brief updates on what is happening in our lives and ministry.  If you aren't a member of the closed group and would like to be please click the "Join Group" button at this link.  

We will still be sending out our bi-monthly electronic newsletters.  We're just saying goodbye from this blog and hello from our Facebook Group!  See you over there!

What is this?

Noah had a great time in the Congo!  After his return we were able to take some time off to rest and spend some much appreciated time as a family. 

We'll be sharing more about Noah's trip in our next electronic newsletter.  If you do not receive our newsletters and would like to just submit this form:

In our next newsletter we'll also be answering this very important question-

WHAT IS THIS?

Cats and Doughnuts

 Noah's not the only one who has been doing some traveling.  My mom and I braved it by driving the two little gals on a road trip to visit my sister and brother in law in North Dakota.  We had fun playing outside, seeing family, and feeding the cats doughnuts.  OK, maybe Eliana was the one who thought the cats needed some doughnuts.  It was pretty crazy, but definitely worth it!

Throw Back Thursday: Nepali Style!

With Noah's next outreach quickly approaching I was remembering our outreach last summer and decided to look through some of our photos.  I miss this team and am so thankful that we were able to have this experience with them.  We shared laughter, frustration, growth, and awe.  Oh and don't forget sickness!  Here's a quick throw back to Nepal and India of some photos that make my heart happy and remind me of eating chocolate cake made out of a rice cooker!

Check out our blog about traveling with our little one and getting to meet up with old friends.  Also here is a link to our video updates from last summer.
