And with their help, we saw our current support level reach that long-awaited 60% milestone. <\/p>\n<p>This has been a very long journey for Amy and I. God has stretched and grown us, using this year to teach us about Himself&#8230; often by giving us nothing else sufficient to rest upon! And this season of life is still not done; there is still work ahead. Yet today, all we can do is stop and praise God for His faithfulness!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Some of the other significant things that have happened this past week:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Elayne celebrated her <strong>fifth birthday<\/strong> on Sunday!<\/li>\n<li>Amy and I began preliminary <strong>Spanish language study<\/strong>, aimed at helping us hit the ground running once the Lord brings us to Chihuahua.<\/li>\n<li>We learned that our minivan can in fact tow a <strong>cargo trailer<\/strong>, solving various logistical questions about our traveling timetable and storage space in Mexico.<\/li>\n<li>Newport Southern Baptist invited us to join their <strong>monthly community outreach<\/strong>, which enjoyed great success!<\/li>\n<li>God simplified our search for my <strong>replacement laptop<\/strong>, helping us perceive a way to cut the estimated cost nearly in half.<\/li>\n<li>We began a project which, when done, will help us shed a little more light on what our <strong>preparations for Mexico<\/strong> look like on a weekly basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We can&#8217;t wait to see what God does in the weeks to come! Ultimately, all of our planning and preparations are meaningless if not done to God&#8217;s glory&#8230; and that is our greatest desire as we move forward each day. Our privilege in Mexico is to be used by God to reveal Himself to a people who do not know Who He is&#8230; and we are so excited to see Him bring us closer to the beginning of that work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year ago, our family began working full-time to find partners for extending the Gospel further into Mexico.
