When Things Don't Go The Way You Planned

We were informed a little over a month ago by our leadership that because of some legal residency issues between Chile and the USA, we would need to leave the country for 6 months. We have not done anything wrong, it's just something that got overlooked.

After our initial shock we began to think about all the plans we had made. We thought about the work of starting churches and the strategies for reaching out to some very isolated peoples. We take comfort because we know that this was not a surprise for God and that He will bring about good because of this.

We will be leaving for Montevideo, Uruguay on Friday. We pray that the 6 months there will be productive and that God will continue to mold us for His use. In spite of the quick departure the Lord worked out for a retired Cuban/American Pastor and his wife to come live in our home, continue the work and take care of our dog. Miami to Punta Arenas in 4 weeks! These are precious saints of God that have a heart for missions and evangelism.

At this point we are not sure about internet or anything for that matter. We know that we will be living in a furnished apartment and that Uruguayos are crazy about Mate! That's OK with me!

I hope to be up and posting again soon. We will miss our nice cold and snowy winter but what an adventure God has for us.
Grace,
