Well folks, it looks like this trip is actually happening.
We've been talking leave-times and airport carpooling today, and it all looks good. Last year we had 7 days; this year we're looking at 9 (10 if you count Friday). So that means you get to read even more updates as we are in Monterrey. I never really know what to say before a trip, though I still feel the compulsive urge to post updates (that bodes ill).
We've encountered a surprisingly (though not althogether discouragingly) high amount of spiritual warfare this time around. Sleeplessness, fear, temptations, doubt, distractions, all kinds of money troubles, physical illness... it's been hitting us hard.
But! that encourages my heart more than accomplishing anything else. Why strike pre-emptively at that which you do not deem threatening? Through it all, we've turned to Jesus and God has used it for good.
And! we aren't playing defense either. We've aready seen a salvation as a fruit of this trip. Erica Love went out with a group, sharing the gospel to practice and used her Spanish-English Bible and bridge diagram to lead someone to know Christ.
It's already going down guys, thanks for your continued prayers for team unity, faith, boldness, and openness to the Spirit's leading.
Amen!
