Arrival in the Basque Region!

This last week has felt like the culmination of many months of prayers, preparation, and traveling. We have finally arrived at our mission field and we are excited about beginning our ministry here. Thank you to everyone who has helped us make it to the field. For the next few weeks we will be living at my parents' apartment while we look for our own place.

First Sunday in the Lazkao Church

It was a great blessing to once again be a part of the worship services at the Lazkao church this past Sunday. The two other missionary families are out of the country for a while. We will be working closely with the Dodgens these next weeks in order to keep the various ministries going.

Welcome to Euskadi (The Basque Country)

Jordan will have many cultural adjustments as she begins to set up our home and learns about the unique culture and customs of the Basque people.

On Thursday, Jordan's parents and sister met us in Atlanta to see us off. Though it was hard to say goodbye, we are all thankful for God leading us to serve Him in Spain.

Prayer Requests and Praises

Praise:
-Our safe and uneventful trip to Zegama.

-The generosity of our friends and sending church, and their help in getting us to the field. 

Prayer requests: 

-One of our main prayer requests these next few weeks is our search and purchase of a used car. We are doing a lot of research these days and we are finding that a used car in Europe is quite a bit more expensive than a similar car in the US. (too bad we couldn't just bring our Camry over!). If you want to find out more about the kind of car we are looking for, and the prices we are finding, go here:

-Diligence and focus for Jordan's Spanish studies, as well as her testimony with her English students.
