2 Months!

  Hola family and friends! This past month has flown by so fast. 


At the beginning of July, we had the privilege to go to camp and get to know the people in our church better, as well as many other churches that joined us for the week. It was an amazing time of good preaching and teaching, singing, games, and much other fun! God saved many that week, as well as worked in many hearts about surrendering their everything to Him. All glory to God! 


We also enjoyed meeting and spending time with 2 different groups from the US this past month! What a joy they were, and we and the boys were able to join in many activities with them and others from our church all month long. It was very hectic, but all had a great time! One group was able to be a part of camp with us, and the next helped us with Vacation Bible School. 


We have great news as of yesterday...we have our van!!! It took us 2 months to get it out of port, with much time and effort (on Joshua's part), and more costs than what we were planning. But we are praising God that we have it now, nothing is wrong with the vehicle, and God provided our transportation the entire time we were waiting!

Spanish classes are going well, and we are learning much! But oh how I fall short when trying to communicate. Like I keep getting told...little by little. I am really enjoying the language!

God is doing so much for our boys. We just praise Him for how He is working! They are loving living here, have found many friends, and are learning Spanish as well. We all go to the university together for now. The Lord has also allowed them to learn sign language, and they are so excited! There is a wonderful deaf ministry here, and they have jumped in with both feet. I am just in awe of these things, and many more, that only God could orchestrate!

Please continue to pray that we get our container with our household goods soon! There are many essentials, including my youngest two sons' schoolwork, that we are needing. We are so thankful to have been blessed with many borrowed things while we wait! And please pray that we can get our container with a discounted cost. Every day that it has sat in the port storage 
(nothing we could do to get it out), it has accrued fees. These are all extra costs that we had not planned, but God knew this already and we are trusting that He will provide. 

We love you all and we're so thankful for you! Thank you for your encouragement, your prayers, and your support! God is using you mightily in our lives!
