We are excited to announce we are currently on the mission field in my home country of Chile. Currently, our main tasks are to get acclimated to living in a foreign country, finish citizenship status for the kids, learn the language, and prepare for our 3rd child to arrive in March.
Many prayers have already been answered and God has provided us with the right tools and resources to reach people with the Gospel. Thank you to everyone who is praying for us, we really appreciate you.
In total, we brought 13 suitcases from the United States to Chile. This meant leaving many of our material possessions either behind or donated. Life is really put in perspective when you can sum up everything you have into several suitcases. The move took a total of 36 hours from the time we left to O’hare and arrived to our new apartment in Chile!
God has directed us to spend our first year in Osorno, a city an hour south of Valdivia where we plan to start the church. We are currently being mentored by a veteran missionary family in the language, customs and essential “must knows” when living in Chile. We appreciate the LaRue family and their willingness to guide us along the way this next year.
