Beginning of a new life

After two months we surely have a lot of things to share, we hope you are willing to spend a few minutes to read about these many adventures.

We have to start with big and good news, we are MARRIED and we have survived the fist month and a half :) it really feels longer, but don't take me wrong, we have that feeling because many things has happened since that day and we are definitely happy in our new life. 

We have to acknowledge the great effort of all those who made this possible. Natasha's family did a tremendous work preparing many things for this special moment, thanks Duane and Rachel Brown, it would have been impossible. As well as Natasha's church in WV, there is so many people who played a very important role for this occasion and we are so thankful for their support. 

We also want to thank Jonatan's family for making an effort coming from Colombia to celebrate with us, It would have not been the same without them. 

And all those who traveled far or near for coming and also the ones that did not come but sent cards, we are so thankful for you, your words of encouragement were well appreciated.


Now we are residing in Virginia and still making arrangements and preparing for when we move to live in Colombia to support the ministry as full time. Our hearts are in the mission field but we know that it takes a while to accomplish that dream. 
We have set goals and want to make sure we get all the training and connections before we depart. 

Natasha has completed her second month at work and she is doing well, getting adjusted to the change and even though this is not what she wants to be doing the rest of her life, it is helping us to prepare for the future. 

Jonatan is trying to study to take the airframe test for aviation maintenance, also waiting for the opportunity to go back to school to complete the studies in Powerplant. He only has three months left to finish. After this he hopes to do more flight training, and basically these are all the things that are holding us here in The States. 

We are also excited about the starting of a new bible study in a close by county which is a ministry from our church, helping a Hispanic community in this location. There is great need and we think God put us here with a special purpose to help them.

At the same time we are supporting the amazon ministry from here, coordinating and making more connections for the future, doors has been opening and we are very happy to see God working in each one of this projects. Currently we are praying and making plans for the beginning of Mission Aviation in Colombia, we know this is a big project and that it why we want to have good foundations for this. 

Thanks again for your time, your support, prayers and words or encouragement.
