My letter to future goers
My Letter to future Goers: My husband and I arrived in April of 2021 to Masatepe, Nicaragua thinking that we’d be here for at least the two years we committed to GoCorps. Within the first year, we decided to make our time here indefinite, since we really felt like there was a lot that God wants to continue to do here. We had to learn to be okay with being uncomfortable with things being different than at home and even different than we had expected. We came with the intention to seek after what God wants for our lives and to obey Him in where he would like us to be. We were, of course… Read more >>
Just Some Updates - June
Hi everyone! We hope you are doing well! As summer begins for many of you in the States, ours is just ending. We just finished an extremely hot month of May, and now June marks the start of rainy season (or “winter”). In April, we passed our one-year mark being here in Nicaragua and boy has it flown by!

In the early stages of development, much of the growth happens below the surface–a good root system and firm foundation for the tree needs to be formed.… Read more >>
Seasons of Change 11/12
We have now passed the 6-month mark of being in Nicaragua, so thank you – thank you for your support and encouragement over these months. Since April, we’ve gotten tanner than Minnesota weather allows us to be, eaten more rice and beans than we thought was possible, become more fluent in Spanish, and most importantly, become more sure that God has us where we should be. Brian and I have some exciting news to share! Our team has been undergoing some changes in structure and leadership over the last month or so, and that involved some changes for Brian and I. After much prayer and consideration… Read more >>
