Why I Left the Mormon Church

There have been some rumors floating around that we have left the Mormon church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Perhaps you've seen the pictures of Jen in sleeveless dresses, or you've noticed from my tweets the absence of any mention of church for almost a year, and you're wondering what's going on. Some people have approached us about it privately and others have silently assu... Read More

Getting Settled

We've been living in our house in Grecia, Costa Rica for over a week now and are starting to feel more settled. The plumbing issues have all been fixed, our Internet is working, and we're starting to get into more productive routines.

Sunday Driving

On Sunday, we planned on going to the Penonome branch for church, about a 2-hour drive from El Valle. Fortunately, church started at 12pm (we thought), so we had time to get ready. We left a bit late,... Read More

Sunday in the Bella Vista Ward

Today we went to church at the Bella Vista ward. It was quite different from the ward we went to last week near the Temple. This ward was comprised almost entirely of Spanish speakers, so obviously, e... Read More
