A Difficult Decision
Over the last few months Jil and I have had the privilege of visiting with many of you, reflecting on the good things that God has done in La Plata because you have chosen to partner with us in reaching the poor there with the truth and love of Christ. First and foremost, I want [...]
A Growing Family
As most of you know, 6 months ago our second daughter (Greta) was born. When you have your second kid, one of the questions that everybody seems to ask is “Is your other kid jealous?” In fact, even before Greta was born I remember being asked if I thought Emerson (daughter #1) would end up [...]
7 impressed guests
“Wow!!!” That’s a rather nice thing to hear as someone comes into your house for the first time, right? Jil and I have always made something of a conscience effort to try and make our house warm and inviting to our guests. We love having people over, and want everyone to feel as welcome as [...]
Ya!
A couple weeks ago I was talking with a guy that owns and runs a store down the street. I’ve been in there quite a few times to talk with him, even having mate with him a couple of times. This particular day, he seemed sort of down (at least to the extent that I [...]
home sweet home
Welcome to our home. I really can’t believe how spacious and nice it is. It’s got plenty of quirks, but we’re so happy to have a home again. This is the dining room. It’s where the entrance to the house is. There was this odd, empty cut-out in the dining room. So we had some [...]

elledges are alive and kickin’, though they may be a bit foul smelling
So we’ve been here for close to a month now. And there are still moments where it all seems completely surreal to actually be here, living in Argentina (like the other night when I for some inexplicable reason felt this sudden urge to watch the water drain “backwards”, like it was a completely new revelation [...]
our week
This week was a bit of a hard one for the Elledge family – emotionally, physically, and spanish-ly. All of it directly related to this … On Tuesday morning, as we were getting ready to head out for school, Emerson fell in our driveway and fractured her tibia. She has to wear this cast for [...]
pops
It’s been almost a month since the last post. I don’t even know how long it’s been since my last post. Longer than a month, for sure. So I’m jumping back in here. There’s really only one ice cream chain here in Costa Rica. Pops. Some ticos pronounce like you would in English and some [...]
