Hello to everyone,
This is our last update of the year and we want to wish you a great time with family and friends.
We also want to remind of the importance and need of keeping the real meaning of the greatest gift of salvation of all of us during this and all the seasons.
Jonatan was finally able to complete all his studies. It has been a long process and we praise God for his help, provision, motivation and strength to close this chapter of our lives and keep moving forward with the ministry the creator has entrusted us to do.
One more goal we have set is for the preparation of our move to the Amazon put to a time frame.
We hope that in one and a half years we will be ready to establish our home in the amazon region.
The training with ITEC might take more or less time but we want to set this goal to help us stay focused.
In the year 2016 both Jonatan & Natasha will be devoting all of their time to serve as volunteers in the ministry. We know the Lord will provide for every need because we have seen him working in our finances for many years, please continue in pray with us about this.
Merry Christmas!

New Excitement
We want to praise God for all the goodness in these past few months. Our last blog has not been updated in been such a long time ago because of so many new and exciting things happening in our lives.
The main exciting "thing" was the birth of our Isabella Marianna. She is such a precious joy to get to have as part of our lives. We cannot imagine life without her and she is always our sunshine. God gave Natasha a natural birth, free of complications and we are so thankful to let Isabella come into the world "all natural".
Another excitement is that Jonatan finally got to return to Liberty University to complete the rest of his aviation mechanics certification. Currently we are back in Lynchburg, Virginia so we can complete this chapter in our lives and continue on. The anticipated finish date is the end of this year, this will give Jonatan his aviation mechanics degree but he still has to finish up some tests to be an official aviation mechanic.
When Jonatan is finished we will be traveling back to Ocala, Florida to continue our training with ITEC. We have been so blessed to have them call us family.
Please keep us in our prayers as we continuing preparing for our future, we hope to be in the Amazon soon!

Resumen - Summary Junio - Julio 2015
Hello everyone,
We hope you are all doing well.
It is hard to believe that we are already in the second half of this year. There is so much to share and here is a little portion of what was going on in the last two months.
We also made a video about the time in the Amazon with several teams visiting different villages and helping to organize some Bible training for pastors and leaders.
We are anxious about Isabella coming to this world to start sharing adventures with us. Natasha has about two weeks left and she is doing well with her pregnancy.
The training at Itec has been an amazing time, we have learned so much. We feels loved and it is really a blessing and a pleasure be part of this caring family.
It is always comforting to receive letters from friends and family encouraging us to keep moving forward in the task the Lord has commanded us. Thank you for every verse, call and of course, your prayers.

Summer 2015
We want to thank everyone who recently reviewed our last post of our new beginning here in Florida with the missions organization, ITEC. We have felt welcomed and very thankful to be here and part of the team.
Within the next month we also have many things going on within MiSion Inc and Agua y Vida. Jonatan is excited to be able to go to the Amazon for a few weeks an participate with 3 different, God given, opportunities there:
*The first is with a team comprised of his father, Tiberio Nieto and Dr. Fanning. Dr. Fanning is a professor at Liberty University and also has been a missionary to Colombia years passed. They will be spending a week in Tarapaca along the Putomayo River, Colombia brining pastoral training and leadership training to the people there.
- Please pray for this time as God will lead people to grow more in Christ and the knowledge of His will.
*Jonatan will spend his final weeks with the TLC team (Touching Lives for Christ). We are so happy to host them again this year. TLC comes from the Bible College in Hobe Sound, Florida where we both graduated from. This team will be taking part in a pastoral training in Several villages.
- Please pray that the team of students will be able to stay free from sickness, the pastors will grow for this training and God can open hearts more to His will.
During all these trips we are going to be handing out InTouch's messengers. We had got in contact with this organization and were excited that they were interested in sending some messengers with us to the Amazon. If you don't know what a messenger is, it is a solar powered device that is packet with Dr. Stanley's messages and also the New Testament. We got them in the Spanish and Portuguese language so the people can hear and understand! What a blessing! We hope to hear how much of a blessing it is for them!
We are so thankful how God is working in the Amazon and always are excited for the summer months to be part of the ministry there! Thanks for your prayer support in this time.

Exciting news - Baby and ITEC
Hello to all our friends and family,
We have so many changes going on in our lives and we are so excited to tell you what God is doing!
In February we went to Florida to visit a missions organization called ITEC (www.itecusa.org). We had an interest to work with them in the future but they encouraged us to come sooner. So, we prayed and felt peace that it was our time to move! In the middle of April we are moving to Florida to start our work with this organization and could not be more excited. Jonatan will be working with the IFLY program gaining more experience in aviation maintenance and flying time. We also want to learn more of how they are doing missions so we can help implement that in the area we are working in the Amazon of Colombia, Peru and Brazil.
The other BIG news is that the baby is growing strong and healthy! Thank the Lord :) We had our latest ultrasound and we are happy to announce if it is a girl/boy on April 12 at the gender reveal party! STAY TUNED!
We also ask to please pray for us as we raise funds for our monthly expenses as we volunteer with ITEC. We trust God will provide all we need to continue HIS work for the future.
