ABWE appointed missionaries

Hello family and friends,
As we have been busy with our deputation travels and the appointing of us becoming official ABWE (www.abwe.org) missionaries, we wanted to take a short moment for everyone to hear a little about the change and to explain a little better for you to understand.
ABWE has almost 90 year of experience in missions with over 900 missionaries all over the world. Their mission is focused in discipleship which is very well aligned with our vision for the ministry in the amazon.
We have seen God opening doors and working in great ways in our lives. We pray that he will keep growing our faith, filling us more with the Holy Spirit and have a clear focus to share with others the ministry.

Prayer Requests:
- Both of our computers died this past month. Please pray this need will be fulfilled because we used them everyday.
-Natasha's pregnancy.
-Our last weeks of deputation, traveling, protection, provision and people interested in partnering with us in the ministry.

July update, continuation of deputation travels

Hello dear friends,

As we continue our travels we are so thankful for what God is doing and how he is working in our lives. We have been gone now for two months and we are starting to get tired, but God is good and renews our strength everyday.

We want to thank every church, our families, and awesome friends who have hosted us and given amazing hospitality to us during this time. You all are so great and we thank God for you.
A quick update on what we have done:





At the beginning of this month we went to a church in Culpeper, VA and had a great time sharing at three services in one morning. Our friends treated us so well and we were thankful for open doors.










After this we continued to PA to spend time with Natasha's grandparents and a Wednesday night service we spoke at their church. We had a nice time sharing with the people and pastor of how God is working in the Amazon and our lives.






While we were arriving to Natasha's grandparents, as we were driving up the driveway our tire popped; we had driven over a nail that was on the road. Thank God we had the help of Pappy and we knew the location well so we could find a good place to get it fixed. It was amazing, Jonatan had bought warranty on the tires from Walmart so we got a good discount.






The next two weeks we were in Harrisburg and also a few days at Lancaster, PA getting to know a mission organization called ABWE. We met some of the coolest missionaries and people who are interested in going to the field. This time was such an encouragement for us and we love the new friends we made that will be lasting friendships.





As we made our way to the next church in Wisconsin we made some stops at a few different places spending time with old friends. Natasha was especially thankful to get to see a best friend from college and Isabella got to play with their daughter who was around the same age.
