A new start for 2008



This new year brings many wonderful changes for the Nelson family. We are currently in process now to become m's with the IMB. We have felt like this was God's will for us for almost a year now. Although the start of this journey seemed to drag by, we now find ourselves moving at a breakneck speed. We are amused and sometimes entertained by a few of the questions some people have asked us, like..."Do you plan to take your kids with you?"...duh! It is going to be a wonderful experience for us to be in the center of God's will, but for me the greatest part of this whole journey is that we will do this together as a family. We will be going to South America as our final destination, but we will be in Costa Rica for the first year at Spanish Language Institute.
Here are a few pictures of the campus we will have our classes at. We have already gotten to meet some of the other families that will be there with us. Ken, the kids and I are so excited about this amazing opportunity the Lord has provided for us to share His Word and the love of His Son to those in another part of the world. It is my hope and prayer that this blog will help all who read it be inspired to pray for m's all over the world and also to pray for all the unreached people groups that so desperately need to hear the good news of God's redeeming love. Please keep us in your prayers as we seek to follow the path He has chosen for us.
