Prayer is Foundational

"Prayer is a major foundation for our survival on the field. We still have many ways we need to grow in prayer, however we've seen how we can continually bring everything before the Lord. We bring him the little things and the big things. And in a foreign culture, all of your problems can often feel big!"

Cling to Your Calling

"We are always clinging to our calling. Remembering confidently that God is in control. He always was, and always is. And that He is Good. We deep dive into culture, national schools, national friends, and national holidays. We always try to see this as through a Spaniard’s eyes. We have slow start mornings with the Lord and also have siestas with the family. We always try to have at least one time a day where we all touched base. Then the crazy busy evenings and nights don't wear us down so badly."

The Little Things Add Up

"The simple things help me thrive here. Things like exercising or regular physical activity, eating balanced meals, and keeping a consistent sleep schedule. The seasons in which I decrease these activities, are the times I feel more like I am surviving and not thriving. It has also been good for me to read and explore new places, even if it’s a nearby look out viewpoint. Lastly, it is vital to have support and a few safe places, especially a few local ones, to process everything, such as, a spouse, teammates, etc."
