A few changes...

The last 9 months have been the most wonderful whirlwind of my life. In July of 2005, I started dating the wonderful Emily Stokes (we had known each other for several years, having met at Denton Community Church). 7 months--and lots of planning--later we were married on Feb. 4 of 2006. I am so excited about serving with Emily in the field because she is the sweetest, most servant-hearted woman I know and she is passionate about missions.

THE PLAN

Many have asked what our plans are for the next year. So here they are: We hope to be in Argentina by January of 2007. We are waiting a year to leave for several reasons: 1) We received counsel from several people to spend our first year of marriage in the US. 2) Emily is still in school at TWU and will be graduating with a degree in psychology in December. 3) We are at about 30% in our financial support right now, and it will probably take that long to raise the rest.

We thank you so much for your prayers and support!
