A lot has happened in these first nine months of being on the mission field, both bad and good.� Bad stuff: Meri's leg was broken, a neighbor was shot, three families we were sharing Jesus with moved away.� Good stuff: Baby Magos was born, a new family is studying the bible with us, God used the bad stuff to open doors for the gospel!� The four of us agree God has been using our experiences in the first nine months to do a lot in us, not just through us.� This has been (as a mentor told Ed) a “wilderness time” - something every missionary goes through from time to time.� Having left people and church�structures we relied on for so many years, and the communities we used to live in, and with everything being so new to us, we’ve been forced to learn to trust and obey Jesus more fully, live in simplicity and raw community, and share our faith as a way of life.� Brings us to our knees.� All this has�been good for us.� Preparation no doubt�for what God is going to do through us in the coming months and year!
