Settling In

Hey everybody!

Well we just finished our 5th week of schooling this week. This week seemed to be a little difficult with some things going on here at the school. I guess that is still part of our training and learning to sacrifice our wants and desires. God is speaking to us daily and we know that He is in control of our lives. We spent the week learning about spiritual warfare, and we are dealing with that! But we know that our God is bigger!!! The kids are still doing great. They are fitting right in. They are learning Spanish so well, I stand amazed! Caleb is saying phrases daily and it makes me laugh and then I wonder where he picked them up at!! We learned a drama this week and put it into practice at a youth convention last weekend, and will do the same again this weekend. It was powerful and showed satan's power and the love and power of Jesus. It's kind of funny that this is the point we are at right now, letting God outshine satan. Well thank you for your prayers, if you could remember Matt's dad is having open heart surgery on Wed. 26th and he could use your prayers. It is hard to be away when we want to be there, but we are trusting God to take care of all his needs. We love you guys and thank you for your prayers. They helped us to get through our first tough week and we are so in love with Jesus!! Oh yeah, about the pictures, Caleb has trained the students to play army guys with him some of the evenings, and we are fighting the girls away from Corey weekly!!! As you can see with his smile, its not a problem to him!! But this is his mother speaking!!! Talk to you later Love you all

Here are some of our new friends in our village. The kids have been fun getting to know, but we are really loving making the contacts with the whole families. It has been good since we have kids, and we are able to connect that way. We are working on Spanish daily and pray for God to annoint our ears and our tongues to be able to speak and understand the language completely!! Thank you for you prayers and emails, love you all!

Well, another week has gone by. The weeks seem to fly. The weather has been so beautiful and God has been speaking daily to us.

Dust Tornado

This picture is only half of the dust storm that past us when we were out inviting people in La Palma Gorda (the fat palm). The area since it is desert has not had rain in half a year. The roads in areas have several inches of dust. Just try to imagine what is like to live in these conditions, yet the people are so happy with what little they have. Why can't we be more like that?

Weekend away

We just returned today, Monday from spending the weekend down in Dr. Arroyo, in the middle of the dessert. We were a mile high up in the mountains, and it was so beautiful!! We literally walked in 6 inches of dust to get anywhere. It has not rained since the summertime and it was so dry. We did two outreach services and also a service at the church on Dayspring property so we were so busy with outreach. We are still doing great and loving it here so far. We are speaking a little more Spanish everyday too. We have seen so many new things here, especially in the churches. They are so different in their services and always provide dinner after the service to us. We have seen and heard of so much evil with idol worshippers and just feel the Spirit tugging us to reach out to so many of the lost, that need to know about Jesus and give them a hope. We went door to door Saturday inviting people to church and asking what they knew about Jesus, and there were a few people that knew nothing about Him. It is so hard to believe that we are so close but yet so far. God keeps laying on our hearts to show Christs' love and we pray that we do that with a Christlike representation!! I guess today was not the best, I cut the kids hair for the first time and with Justin I about gave him a coronary, but we made it thru!! Besides that, we are so good, and the kids are making close friends with others and our faith is definitely growing daily. This training is so good in the fact that it matters how deep and how much you put into it, and God definitely speaks through it. Thanks for checking on us and praying for us, we think of you guys daily and miss you, but we know for this time we were meant for this. Love you all!! We will try to get better at the pictures too!! Dayspring.us has a lot on their DMT click spot. There are more on the bottom of this page too.
