These past few months have been nothing less than an incredible journey for us filled with many changes and new chapters in our lives! We started this year off with both having full time jobs and soon realized that God had a different path for us. We ended up taking the Perspectives Course which opened our eyes to see the world the way God does(which by the way is being offered again this coming year. Classes start Jan. 9, 2012. Please let us know if you're interested in this class and we can get you hooked up;). It is fabulous), and then going on a special mission trip to Tuxpan, Mexico. After much praying and really just a whole lot of Faith, we took the leap - leaving both of our secure jobs and entering full-time ministry. We’ve met many wonderful people and are so blessed with all the new relationships and friendships that have come out of this new step of life.
This has been a time of growing as a family as well. Abraham turned 8 years old this year! He is already flying through 2nd grade, enjoying reading chapter books and playing games like Monopoly. He played soccer this year on the Strikers team (which Renato coached!) In his free time you’d normally find him having nerf gun wars with his dad or drawing (he tells us he’s going to be an artist one day.) We were able to visit Renato’s relatives in Mexico last winter, and we had a great time relaxing and reconnecting with family there!
As this year comes to a close, we have so appreciated your support and prayers for our family over the past months. Thank you!
We Hope you had the BEST Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
Here are some random photos of this past year I quick picked out..;) Enjoy!
