Mission Minute, February 2013

What a whirlwind!

In early December I said my goodbyes and moved away from my lovely Oaxaca, Mexico.  I flew to Oklahoma City to visit my (then) boyfriend and meet his family and friends and then the two of us drove up to Montana to spend Christmas with my family.  On Christmas Eve, Daniel proposed and we became engaged.  About a week and half later, I packed up everything again and moved to San Jose, Costa Rica for language school.  It’s been a wild, but wonderfully exciting ride and I am so thankful to once again have my feet on the ground, so I can plant a few roots!
 

Introducing…Daniel Hazelrigg!!

God has brought the most amazing and Godly man in to my life.  Daniel Hazelrigg is a new Assemblies of God missionary from Oklahoma, who is currently in language school with me and who will also be serving in Southern Mexico.  We met almost two years ago when he came to visit Oaxaca.  God has been in this from the start and with the blessing of our families and directors; we plan to marry in January 2014 and then head to Chiapas, Mexico, where we will serve together as career missionaries.  Please pray with us about our future life together.

Did you say, “Career” missionaries?

 I am currently classified as a missionary associate with the Assemblies of God which is a one-two year commitment.  Last spring, God again confirmed to me that I am to serve in missions for life, so I am now beginning the process of changing my status to that of a career missionary.  This process will be extensive and over the next year my budget will be increasing, so please pray with me that God will continue to provide what is needed.  If you would like to participate in this opportunity with a one-time donation or by committing to give on a monthly basis, please see the information below.


Chisel away!

I am now a student at the Assemblies of God language school, CINCEL.  How appropriate that the Spanish word “cincel” means “chisel.”  Over the coming months, I know that God and my teachers are going to put their chisels to work on me.  In Jeremiah, God is pictured as the potter who molds the clay.  May God mold my life and may my teachers have their way so I will be prepared to serve in Mexico to a greater capacity.  Please pray that God gives me understanding and perseverance as I study.

Thank you!

As always, thank you for your faithful, continued prayer and support.  You make my ministry possible.  I am able to do what God has called me to do because of good people like you.  I am forever grateful.  Thank you!
