We purchased international eSIMs for our travels, which has worked very well. We have plenty of data, which is helping us do everything we need to.

If you have tried texting us and haven’t heard back, you probably need to make a quick change next time you text. We both have iMessage, so you can make this change if you have an iPhone.

First, make sure you have our email addresses in our contact info in your phone (nicandkatiehendrychs@gmail.com for Katie and nicholas.hendrychs@icloud.com for Nic). Side note: don’t try to email Nic at that address. Go to Messages, and start a new message. When you select my name, you should have a drop-down option that allows you to select my email instead of my phone number. Using my email should send a blue message that shows you that you’re using iMessage. Text me, and I will respond if it worked!

If you have an Android phone, you can also reach us both on WhatsApp.

We miss our people and would love to hear from you about all the normal things you’d text us about if we were back home. Keep in mind that we are six hours ahead of Eastern Time right now, so if you text during your afternoon or evening, we won’t get back to you until the next day.
