We're back again [Rob]

Hey everyone,

I know that we haven't written much lately. Our computer had a part break and so we had to go to Santiago to buy a new part. But now we have finally returned to the cyber world. And now that we are back, I think that it's time to share once again what is happening in our lives.

Well, just two more months and the School of Biblical Studies ends. Then we are off to Venezuela to finish up our wedding plans. I, personally, am excited to go to another new country and especially to meet Cy's parents. We have many plans to do special things there.

Oh, while we are on the subject, please pray for somethings:

1. For all the visas and papers necessary to go to Venezuela, Canada and finally Thailand.
2. For the finances for those trips as well.
3. For the churches where we will be sharing both in Venezuela and in Canada. (I guess Thailand as well once we get there.)

Cy and I are doing just great, falling in love with eachother more everyday. It's amazing how at first I thought that it couldn't get any better, and now looking back I can see how our love has grown and matured and become even sweeter than at first. I guess that is what God's plan is for all of us: that love would grow and not die. I believe that it can be applied to all relationships, not just between a man and a woman, or even friends, but also with God.

Well, may you all find encouragement and love in our God. Blessings!

God is opening ways where we didn't see them before. [Cy]

Since we knew that God was calling us to Thailand, we have been praying so that we could leave the base in Pichilemu with blessing. We are now seeing that God has been answering our prayers. We have shared with a few leaders about what is to come (It still isn’t official). Our news of us going to Thailand has served to encourage to move forward. It isn’t that we depend on their words but it sure is encouraging to see the fact that God has put it in their hearts to support us. No only have we heard from the leaders here, but also in Thailand (Check out the “Mission: Thailand” link). They have received words from God about our journey to Thailand. Every day that passes I am encouraged more and more about our going there, I’m also feeling a strong burden for the Thai people and about the time that is still to come.

I also want to share that everything with the wedding plans is coming along. We have seen some blessings come our way as I plan to return to Venezuela after almost 4 years and I see my parents again.I continue to understand and see God move His hand. While it continues I keep on praying and thanking God for His mercy and power over our lives.

My Final Exam [Rob]

Hey everyone,

Right now we are on "vacation." I write "vacation" because we have to study the two books of 1 & 2 Kings in an 8 day span. It's tough, but possible. It took me over 4 hours just to read it once. It's long, but really challenging and with a lot of great lessons to learn.

Oh, I wanted to tell you all that I did well on my final oral exam. I got 94.4%. That was by the grace of God because I didn't know that much, He just reminded me in the time of the exam. So I hope to end this term better than the first one.

Now we have just one term left, less than three months. Cy and I hope to be leaving Chile on the 26th of November to go to Venezuela. We're excited about leaving the cool weather and heading to a warmer place.

Oh, I figured out that my cold has actually been allergy. And so I am taking something for that and it is helping. Thanks for your prayers. At least I know what it is now.

Well, I love you all and hope to hear about what is going on with everyone. May God continue to bless you and keep you in His arms of mercy.

(Oh, and sorry about allowing that one comment that was a little appropriate! It's been fixed)
