Well everyone we are back in the US. After six or so months in Mexico we are back in the discernment game. These past six months have been hard but very blessed. When we went to General Cepeda we went with the understanding that we were in discernment to see if that was the place he wanted us or if there was another place for us. After this time we heard the Lord call us out of General. Thankfully we didn’t leave there without fruit. We were able to see that the Defending the Faith class was very helpful for the people in getting to know the Church. We have learned a lot about our family and about the way Jesus is using us. One thing we have learned is that it is very important to strive to form our family identity. We already have the foundation of this identity(Family of God/missionary), but we now need to form all the things in between. We have learned that this is something that doesn’t just fall in your lap. It takes hard work and perseverance to hold on to the things that are important to you and humility to let go of the things that are not in the Lord’s plans for your family. This is something that has also built a greater trust in the Lord.
Now we are looking to what God has next for us. With our second child on the way we are asking God for His word to be spoken to us. Of all the things I’ve learned in my years of missionary serves the greatest is KNOWING that God has a plan and that my family and I have a vital part in this plan if we let ourselves to be weak so he can be strong through us. He has chosen us and called us by name. Now in this time of waiting this is what we need to remember. Please pray everyone that this word will come soon!! God bless
