A House!

I don't know if I have ever been this tired. It's 11:15 PM here in Spain and we've been going hard at it all day.

To start off our day we finally got all our paperwork together and we were able to register with City Hall.

Josh went and spent the day at IMM where they were shooting Buddy Barrel's 60th Birthday Party! While he was having a great time eating pizza and cake, we were at the house putting together the kitchen table and chairs and the girls bunk beds. I really missed my Dewalt cordless drill....

The house was still without power until a wonderful dude showed and up waved his magic cordless drill and then we had power! As soon as we had power we rushed off to the local Carrefour (sort of like a Wal-Mart) and bought three fans. One for each of our bedrooms! Homes don't have AC like we have back in the states. You can but air conditioners but they run from €200 on up.

We came back and finished up the girls bunks, had a little dinner and cooled off a bit(I miss ice too!) before we ran to the grocery store and to Jon and Bonnie Coopers to pick up an air mattress. Anna, Josh and I get to camp out on air mattress until our container arrives in a few months. But its all good my friends we are in Spain! We can't wait until language school starts!

I used up my entire one semester of college Spanish in the Madrid airport. Then Mark and Ellen Cannon showed us this youtube video and we could relate. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We're Here!

We arrved in Spain this past Friday! Our flight was fairly uneventful and the children managed to sleep a bit. Anna and I, however, still haven't mastered how to sleep sitting up. We were met at the airport by Missionaries Mark and Ellen Cannon and their son Tim. They, along with all the other missionaries that we have met have been so kind and helpful to us.

The house we are renting was supposed to have the power turned on today, but... it should be on somewhere from 1pm to 4pm tomorrow.

We're still jet-lagging so we'll write more later.

Blessings!

Visa Blessing

Our visas arrived two months earlier than expected! We drove to Miami and picked them up and we now have a departure date! We will be leaving July 24th from Atlanta. Our visa are only good for a very short time so we must hurry and get to Spain. We're still not quite where Springfield wants us to be with our budget, but we are trusting the Lord for it all to work out.

In the mean time its pack, pack, pack!

Please pray for our transition and for our Spanish!

Great is Thy Faithfulness!

“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3: 8-9

A beautiful miracle occurred at our District Council. For the first time that we can recall, all West Florida missionaries were called to the front, while the congregation was given faith promise cards. The ushers brought the cards to Bro. Trask and he called out the amounts and gave the cards to the appropriate missionary. We tried to keep a running total, but could only get an approximate because many were increased pledges. We stand in awe! Due to the tremendous outpouring of support we nearly have all the funds Springfield requires. Praise God!

We ask that you continue to pray for our family. We are in the process of sorting and packing. Trying to decide what is a necessity and what is unneeded can be challenging, especially in the eyes of our children. The next few weeks will continue to be an emotional roller coaster for us as we say farewell to our family and friends. As you pray for our family, please pray for the hurting and hopeless across Southern Europe. It is our prayer that they will discover the hope that can only be found in Jesus.

Historic Simulcast with The Truth Project

It has been said that the evangelical movement is three miles wide but a quarter inch deep. This should help anyone grow deeper in the Lord.

17% Left to Go!

Things are really starting to get busy. Not only are we doing the itineration thing, but now we are doing the packing, cleaning, rent the house, thing as well. We are so close to getting our budget! We only have 17% left to go.

If you have not done so, would you consider partnering with us monthly so we can get to the mission field?
