Hello dear friends!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for taking a moment to read our March update! We pray blessings over you and your families, and we thank you for being partners with us of what God is doing here in Mexico. Our new mission field definitely looks and feels like a universe away from the P’urhepecha region sometimes! But there is so much purpose and vision that God is giving our family for this new season here and we can’t wait to share with you the highlighs of this month. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your partnership, your prayers and support!<\/p>\n

At the end\u00a0of February and the beginning\u00a0of March, El Monte hosted what we should call an Epic team from The Grove Church in California.\u00a085 men called “HANDS” came to serve in practical ways at El Monte, local churches and ministries around this area. The end result of their visit was wonderful. These men worked so lovingly and sacrificially to serve and leave a legacy that will bless Mexican churches, missionaries and active ministries for years to come.
\nThis unforgettable team made a really cool video of their visit that shares the work and vision of El Monte very clearly, please take some\u00a0extra few minutes to watch it by clicking this\u00a0link below<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

After the HANDS team left, El Monte continued with its regular schedule, and ran their annual Misions Camp “Por Causa del Llamado” (For the sake of the Call), a very special and awaited event that ignites the flame of global missionary work in Mexican campers.<\/p>\n

Scott has been working on maintenance and some construction, and will now focus on developing and managing some projects at El Monte.<\/p>\n

Isabel is part of the staff of the Missionary Training Center, teaching English to global workers.<\/p>\n

A little about our kids…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amelia Josephine (5 years old) is being homeschooled, currently doing Kindergarten level. She loves learning, playing outdoors, painting, reading and Math!<\/p>\n

Olivia Mackena turned 3 last week. She is a bundle of cuteness, genious and laughter and keeps us all on our toes.<\/p>\n

Our third, currently on the way!, is a sweet BOY named Elliot Gray. We can’t wait to meet him\u00a0sometime around June 8th. We have recently had to make more visits than\u00a0usual to our Doctor, having received news that there is a risk for our baby to be born pre-term. Please join us praying for our baby to reach full-term, and good health and strength for both him and Isabel. Our God is faithful!<\/p>\n

A special prayer request:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our housing situation desperately needs a a change.\u00a0Our little rental house in town came with many electrical and water problems, plus it\u00a0has already been sold to a new owner. It’s almost impossible to find other rentals here in town, and we would not want to move much farther from our work place. Isabel is 30 weeks pregnant and we need to find a good solution\u00a0that works for our growing family before the baby is born. Again, God is faithful. He has miraculously provided before, and we know He will do it again. Please join us praying for the\u00a0provision of a great\u00a0rental house for us. Thank you!<\/p>\n
