We're Here!

Well, we've arrrived in the great state of Tabasco - our new home city of Comalcalco. We've been here exactly three weeks and have already been put to work, which is great! This Monday we will begin practices with the newly formed Praise and Worship team, and hope to be up and running for services in two weeks. We are also in the process of starting a cell group to win other musicians for Christ. Life is busy at home as well. The house is not completed and there are still workers coming in almost daily to do one thing or another. So dirt and mud and all kinds of soiling goes on constantly. I'll write about my domestic adventures some other time (complete with antecdotes from our in-house zoo).

We're adjusting fairly well. It has been raining and humid most of our time here, but thankfully God sent us a reprieve this week with a very cool front! It's been lovely for the past three days - we've even turned off our fans in the house.

Melodee and Kaitlyn are quite at home down here. No illness or strange behavior. (smile)

I'm doing alright. There is certainly some paradigm shifts going on with me, but I'm praying for His grace to guide me through it. I am TOTALLY excited about the work we are, and will be doing with the church. I'll be starting some English classes this next week, and tutoring for some of the young people in the church in the following week.

Our internet service is spotty and limited, so I will update when I can. I love hearing from all of you, so please drop a comment or send a email!

Pray for us that God will continue to give us wisdom and inspiration as we begin to work in our calling. We need divine insight and ideas to accomplish His desires. Also pray about our financial situation - many of our pledgers have not fulfilled their commitment for this month, and we need God's provision. Thanks for your love and support!

Hey girl, I'm so glad to read of your excitement as you continue to settle in. It's easy to imagine you sitting with students, looking at them intently, and laughing your great laugh. I wish I could see you!

I agree w/ Duane. God will provide. Praying as such. Love you!
