somos beunos! (we are good)

So you are all probably wondering how we have been doing these past few weeks... Well, it is only within the past few days now that we have had time to figure out our schedules and settle down a bit from the business of life and ministry here in Mexico City. God is so good. Thus far nothing dangerous has happened to us, other than a concerning cold that Kara is only now getting over after almost a month of being here. And our transition into Mexican culture has been very smooth, more-so than we ever thought. Language classes are going really well, and all in God's timing we will be speaking fluent Spanish.
There have been so many new things and changes that have taken place these last few weeks, it would surely be an overload to tell you about all of our cool and interesting experiences. That is why we will be sending out our October update soon with more info of what all has taken place in the short time we have been here.
To give you just a little update though.... We are busy like nothing we have ever experience before in ministry. Think about diving off the tallest diving board you have ever seen, and that is more or less what we have been experiencing lately and only now surfacing (learning how to tread water in a new culture). Leaving all your worries and concerns on the diving board and plunging into deep trust that God has everything in his hands.
Please continue to pray for as we need and covet your prayers greatly. A lot of things are going on all at once around us and there have been and are currently many attacks being made on us by the enemy. Please pray for safety as a general thing, but more so for wisdom and discernment as we are both being stretched physically and spiritually as we believe God has something big in store for our time spent here in Mexico.
We send our love to all of you wherever you are, and you're in our prayers.

Gum Trees! There famous for them here in Mexico. Just be careful you don't run into them.

Dios de bendega (God bless you),


Nathan and Kara
