May Update

Hello family and friends,

We skipped a month of blogging because you all received an email from us last month about our plans for this summer. We would love to hear from you! We are planning on leaving the first week of June for West Virginia and from there we are going to be visiting churches and friends spreading the ministry. This is a much needed part of the process of going to Colombia as full time missionaries. It is just amazing to see how God is putting these plans together, our schedule is coming together wonderfully.

Some specific prayer requests:
*We are going to be driving our van that has over 236,000 miles on it. We trust God to keep us safe and give us wisdom if something does break down on how to fix it. Jonatan can fix airplanes so I'm sure he can fix our car, that is if it is fixable :)
*Natasha is in her second trimester of pregnancy. Pray that her morning sickness will subside and she won't have any complications. We trust God for a smooth and enjoyable time for her. She has a check up a few day before we leave and a few days after we get back. Also the doctor is on call if she needs anything, which is a blessing.
*Isabella to be flexible and patient as we are on the road for hours. That she will have an enjoyable time, that God will use her in a special way and be happy meeting new people.
*We are considering partnering with a missions organization and are in the process. We would like God's approval on this and if it is the right thing for us to do. There are pros and cons about being part of a missions organization and going on your own as a missionary. If you have any insights to help us with this we would love to hear from you.

Please prayfully consider how you could help us this summer! This time, more than ever, we need you prayer and financial support.
We would love to see you! Some states we plan on visiting are West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma.
