He´s been ours for a decade!

Here is a quick flashback of the past decade measured by our second son. He is the quieter, pensive, peaceful, playful, sweet, fun loving member of our family. What would we be with out him.

Happy 10th Birthday to our big little man,

Andrew Jay!

 May you continue to grow into a great young man of God. You are already showing so much fruit and growth, living for Jesus daily.

We love you, Andrew!

Happy Mother´s Day

to all you dear Moms and

especially to my Mom!

You all are Fearfully and Wonderfully made for this special purpose. God designed you for this. Some days we don´t feel up to it, but knowing that Motherhood is a God given job and that it´s a heavenly task, helps us to continue on.

God bless you today in the work of your hands, and every day, as every day we are Mothers!

Here is a tribute to my dear mom and close friend! I love you and miss you so much, Mom!

My Trip to Rome!

Yes, I did go to Rome. The Lord worked in some incredible ways to allow me to be with missionaries, the Homan family, as well as witness to many spanish speaking people. It really was a whirlwind couple of days.
In retrospect, I must have really wanted to travel, but in the beginning I really was doing it for a friend who I have been praying for for a long time. It was an opportunity to spend some time with her and be a witness. God did open some amazing doors to witness to her and to several others. Sometimes you feel more freedom farther from your city of service. The Lord gave me more boldness there and I am praying to implement it now that I am back in Gijón.
I liked the city far more than I thought I would. The mere historic value of it drew me like a new historical fiction book.
Well, thus a new chapter in my book is closed and I am very glad to be home in my mission field.
Please pray for a Peruvian lady named Dina, who received the gospel and my little spanish Bible our last day there. We pray to see her in heaven one day.

The Paltza/ Santa Ana family during our stay in California. We had a wonderful time with everyone. Thank-you to everyone for your dear sweet love and prayers. We are overwhelmed with joy and thankfullness.

Excursions and Evangelism

This past spring and summer we took several excursions. Some just for celebrating birthdays, some for picnics, some for evangelism, but all were adventures filled with joy and fun! Our boys love to hike, bike, run, and explore. No matter where we go they seem to find something new and exciting. They are on the active side but we are thankful that they are happy and healthy. And most importantly that they are learning to be obedient boys for God´s glory.

Here are some of our family Photos from these excursions.
