Will you be my Valentine?

We got to host the Iglesia del Camino Youth Group Valentine Dinner in our condo’s backyard.

Maureen and I shared the 7 things you should look for in a potential partner: 1. Do they love Jesus? 2. Do they love others? 3. Do they respect you? 4. Do they have a vision for their life? 5. Do they make you a better person? 6. Could you spend the rest of your life with this person? And 7. Are they teachable?

What would you add to the list?

Mind Changers

I am currently taking some courses through the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy on my way to a Certificate in Fundraising Management.

At the same time, Maureen is taking a 12-week course exploring her identity in Christ with Susan Kusman of “And yet she flourished…” Biblical Counseling.

Balancing our work, ministry and course work has been a bit of a challenge, but worth it!

Game Changers

We often joke that the authentic Texas barbecue at Pappy’s BBQ keeps us on the mission field.
Pappy’s not withstanding, good healthcare is a big factor as well. We have always had access to decent care in Guatemala City (about an hour away on a good day), but just recently @vitalmedgt opened up less than a mile from our house. This provides us with local “urgent care like” services.

The combo* of good brisket and a nearby place to get checked out will keep us serving here in Guatemala for a while longer!


*Those two things plus a sense of calling and an uber-faithful support team.

World Changers

Maureen: “It is a privilege to lead Emily, Isabel, Heydi, Taryn and Ashlyn (on the video) in a Bible study each week. These ladies are already changing the world for Jesus and I’m their biggest fan.”
