marriage as well as friendships, and many other topics. \u00a0Later they will get more into language and culture study. \u00a0They are attending and ministering at a local Spanish church and really seem to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>They are still open to where the Lord will lead them to serve in the future but still have lots of time to pray and seek wisdom for that. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure they would appreciate your prayers for wisdom in that, as well as other decisions that they will have to make in the future. \u00a0You can also check out their blog for more info or to support them at: \u00a0http:\/\/www.codyandbeka.com\/<\/p>\n<p>Here is a link to Cody and Beka singing &#8220;Golgotha&#8217;s Hill&#8221;
