It is hard to think that we arrived to Colombia just two weeks ago! We have already been in numerous houses sharing and spending time with long time friends and family. We had the blessing of meeting other ABWE colleagues here in Colombia and it was a beautiful time sharing with them.
This weekend we are going to take some family time and go to a local area, we are excited for much needed family time.
Many people wonder why are want to be missionaries, the life in the United States is so comfortable and we can find a job easily. Many people ask why we just don’t get a job instead of asking for ministry partners... God has tested us and with thinking about it we get deeper roots in our faith knowing we are doing what God has called us to do. Being a missionary is not easy, but so fulfilling! Trusting in God’s will for your life is always the best!
It is not easy traveling with two girls, an infant and toddler, from car to car numerous times a day, sleeping in different beds every other night, eating whatever people offer or put in front of you... but we know God is taking care of us.
We covet you’re prayers, especially for healthy bodies. Isabella got sick with an extremely high fever, Natasha has been sick. But God is good, the day after they got sick we were arrived to a cousin’s house who is a doctor, she sent in the medicine and they brought it to our house, it was a huge blessing!
We shared in a Colombian church this past weekend. The pastor put us on the spot to share a special song... before we started Isabella wanted to come to the front and it was such a sweet experience, her helping us sing. Natasha also got to have her first experience sharing in Spanish with the congregation some of her calling, it was a wonderful time.
Natasha hasn’t had a birth experience but has talked with two pregnant ladies, each having their own questions. It is definitely a need for women to have a place to come for counseling with maternity questions. Natasha has a deeper passion for studying midwifery.
We love you all and are thankful for you reading and caring of what I see happening I need our life.

Prayer requests:
*We still don’t know where we will stay while we are in Leticia. Please pray God shows us where.
*For health and safety.
*Natasha to have a birth experience in the Amazon.
*For us to get to 50% funding by the end of June. We are at 43%.
You may think that giving a small amount wouldn’t make a difference, it will! We have some ministry partners that give $15, $25, $30 a month, your committed monthly partnership means so much to our family and especially to the people we are ministering to. Please ask God how he wants you to partner with us.
