November 2020

For the last 30 days I've been packing, saying my goodbyes, and preparing my heart for my next step... moving! Thank you so much for all of you who came to say goodbye to me and have sent me encouraging words and prayers. 

As many of you know, I was supposed to be on a plane to El Salvador yesterday. But as it turns out, I'm sitting at a friend's house in Ohio writing you this update. 

A few weeks ago Pastor Ivo, his wife Marielos, and their two kids Josué and Keyla contracted COVID-19 and since then have had several complications during the recovery process. Although they are on the mend now, they are still navigating the secondary effects from being sick.

In light of this, Reliant, Ivo, and I have decided to postpone my flight. Their family has and will play an intricate role in helping me get established in El Salvador including setting up my house, taking me to buy furnishings, looking for a car, etc. As eager as I am to go, with all the unknowns this year has brought I know it is wise to wait and make sure everyone has a clean bill of health. I was able to easily reschedule my flight for November 17th (huge praise for that!).

The sudden change of plans came as a bit of a shock. Yet I have seen God's hand on every detail leading up to this and know that He is still in control. November 17th is still just 3 short weeks away and I know it will come quickly! Even with that in mind, I'm asking the Lord to help me hold this date in open hands as it could change again just as quickly. I'll keep you updated!

Please be praying for Ivo, Marielos, Keyla, and Josué as they continue to recover!

I'm continuing to meet with the English Conversation Club every Tuesday evening! Once I arrive in El Salvador I'm hoping to take a trip to San Miguel in order to meet everyone in person. Please continue to pray for our time together!
