Changes and Blessings


TEXAS is a big change from Asturias, Spain! 


We are on what missionaries call "furlough" which means rest, but often it means many many hours of driving, new surroundings, and many many new experiences. We give a report to our supporting churches of what the Lord has been doing on our mission field. We will be Stateside for 5 months.
El Paso is a culture all of it´s own.
Here is our driveway!


God has blessed us with a trailer in the desert to live in. We have a bit of a drive to our sending church, but it is exactly what God has provided for us.

The boys have had a full week of school and of football practice. These are days that we pray they will be thankful for the rest of their lives.


The boys on their first day of school last week after traveling three days from Florida.


The boys first day of Panther full tackle football!


God has allowed us to serve in our sending church and school, as well, as visit new churches in the area.

Please continue to pray for our church in Gijón, Spain and for our travels all over the USA.

Moments like these...


You need to stop and just admire their ability to sleep wherever and however.

This could be an occupational hazard for an MK.

MK?? You ask.

Yes, our highly adapted missionary kid sleeping in the Madrid airport. He and his brothers have traveled/waited over 48 hours to arrive in the good ol´ USA.



Our little troopers!

We arrived in Miami, Florida August 9 at 6pm, but you know, after baggage claim and customs, we didn´t actually see my parents till well after 7 pm. Which by the way was 1am our time!

It has been 2 years since we had seen our family. These reunions are so precious, and I am taking so may pictures to capture almost every moment. I don´t want to miss anything.

My mom and I!

If you don´t hear from me for awhile, you´ll know I am taking lots of pictures and really enjoying our furlough.

The boys start school next week in Texas. Please pray for our traveling safety as we head that way.

I hope to be able to visit you at your blogs soon.
