It has been an eventful couple of months!

At the end of March, we traveled to Guatemala for a week to work with a group of 51 high school seniors from the Dallas area. They came to help Daren and Heidi Walker build desks, paint, and put on programs for three schools in Guatemala City. These students blessed the kids and school administrators and many of the seniors’ lives were changed by how God moved at the school programs.

We were also able to further develop plans for the launch of a brand-new missionary internship program, Project One, which we plan to begin immediately upon our arrival to Guatemala.  Throughout the week we obtained video footage of the work that was being done in the projects as well as personal interviews with a number of the Dallas students on how the experience was impacting their lives.

Our initial concern with this quick trip to Guatemala for our “pre-term” field preparation was that we might go for a week…and hate it.  What if our nostalgia of a past trip was distorted by time and it turned out to be a prelude to our first term of just struggle after struggle.  The truth was the opposite.  From our arrival through the end of the week, we worked hard, sweated, were covered in paint, were stretched beyond our comfort zones and we were reminded that Guatemala is exactly where we are called and exactly where we desire to be.  We are seeing that when we delight ourselves in the Lord, the desires of our heart align with His desire for us.

We were also able to check a HUGE milestone off of our to-do list. Our goal was to put our house on the market by May 15^th. Amazingly, by May 13^th, our house was already under contract! Praise God! The way things are looking, we will close on our house on June 5^th. We are just blown away by how quickly this process has gone. So, now we will be living with family until we move to Costa Rica for language school. We are so blessed to have family that stand with us and will take us in.

Since our house has gone under contract, we have been busy selling our things and moving out. It has been fast and furious. It has also been very emotional, but through this, God has been showing us that four walls do not make a home. We find home where our loved ones are close and when and where we’re following God’s direction.

On June 5^th after we close on our house, we will immediately leave to head toward Springfield, Missouri for our 3 week-long missionary training. We are looking forward to this time and we’re excited for all that we will be learning in these sessions. Although we will be away, we will still be booking services for the coming months. We are actively looking to share with churches on these following Sunday – AM or PM services:

July 30^th

Aug 6^th

Aug 27^th

September 24^th

As always, we are willing to meet on Wednesdays, with your youth groups or weeknights with small groups!

Our fundraising is coming along! We are still in need of more partners to join in on this journey with us.
