November Picture Update
Hello!
November is already halfway over and Christmas is around the corner.
These days Jordan and I feel like we are running in a dozen different directions. Jordan has become a popular English teacher and is teaching seven classes a week. We are excited about the many contacts she is making in our town of Segura. Her ultimate goal is to be able to share the light of the gospel with these unsaved children and adults.

Bible Studies in Zumarraga
One exciting ministry development these past months has been the Bible study in Zumarraga. I have prayed for many years that this city would have a Gospel-preaching church of its own. The Lord has led us one step closer to that goal! We have started having periodic Bible studies for the believers in that valley. Thank you for praying that the Lord would build His church in His perfect timing.
For the time being we are meeting in Wilmer's house. By the second study, as you can see, the living room was quite full! Please pray for wisdom as we move forward.

Church Activities
Jordan has been spending many hours in Spanish studies and her investment is paying off! She can understand quite a bit now and she is talking much more. A few weeks ago she gave her first Bible study, completely in Spanish!
Seeking Witnessing Opportunities
Jordan and I are both meeting people and building ministry relationships. I continue having daily Basque classes and am grateful for the progress I am making. I really believe the investment of many hours of study will pay off, as the Lord brings Basque people to the Truth.
During Basque class, we went on a tour of a cider press in the town of Ordizia.
This fall I have signed up for a carving workshop in our town. My main purpose is to meet people and get involved in town, but I am also enjoying the course! (unfortunately, I did not make that clock. . . I'm still a long way away from that!). Please pray for wisdom and witnessing opportunities with the 6 or 7 other men in class.

Young People, Church, and Farmhouse Work
Continue to pray for our young people. Many of them are doing very well and we are thankful for their spiritual growth.
Various construction projects at church and Aierdi. We are busily preparing for the Missionary Teen Retreat that starts December 1st.
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and support! Jordan and I feel privileged to serve the Lord in Spain.
Lord willing about a month from now we will be arriving in the States for a three week trip to visit our family and church. We are looking forward to seeing you!
