Update on the Church Property
Family building projects are the best! This one has challenged us in many ways, especially given the way that lumber is milled here, and that almost all of our work has been done without power tools. We are making great memories, though, and lots of new friends. **** We are the Deatrick Family - Michael, Nora, Corban, Kezia, Ellie, Lilias, and Simeon!

Building a Tiny Home in the Tropics
Some people might think we are crazy, but what an amazing life this is! We were so thankful for the opportunity to visit a Guadalcanal village school to deliver a Pure Water For All system and share the Gospel. Taking all five kids along was an adventure. Truly a life worth living!

taking our kids on a bush hike to give pure water
It has been awhile since we have been active on here but it is good to be back! We sat down and "recorded" this whole video several weeks ago and then realized that we weren't in fact recording.

How to prepare yourself spiritually and mentally for birth
Another video from the archives that never got posted, the Olotsara bungalows was such a beautiful place! We know to prepare better next time, though. They advertise "the comfort of your home" and we now know that is very subjective. Regardless, amazing memories were made and we are thankful we could go! **** We are the Deatrick Family - Michael, Nora, Corban, Kezia, Ellie, Lilias, and Simeon!
