So how did your mission trip go?

I haven’t made it down there. My wife is going there next month for a couple of weeks with my son in law. They will be moving in September/ October.

Oh, okay. You had said you were going in Feb of 2024, so I thought you went; but I hadn’t heard anything about it, thus my question.

my wife is flying their tomorrow with my son in law and one of the elders wife ( he is one of the guys in my Saturday morning mens discipleship group at my house). His wife is fluent in Spanish and spent a couple of her college years in Equador and loves the people there. She has been on 2 mission trips there over the past 2 years and is there to support my wife. Not sure what the future holds yet but if my wife finds purpose and meaning there besides the fact our grandchildren with be living there, then there is a chance we would go there too. I already think for me there would be ministry with the Expats for home groups and mens discipleship. It all hinges on my wife. So your prayers would be appreciated. They will be coming back on the 28th of August.

My son in law/daughter moving there has been delayed due to a court issue with the ex husband. It looks like at the earliest it will be this fall/winter or latest in early spring of 2025.

Thanks brother we are going to miss them. Good thing for FaceTime. They lived only 6 miles from us and we saw them all the time. There is a chance we may end up there, God willing. If my wife wants to go then I'm packing my bags.

Have you read up on Catholic practices? My advice, for whatever it's worth, is to go easy on Catholics. I'm not Catholic nor will I ever become Catholic but I've come to appreciate the first ~800 years of their History, especially their Christology (Eucumenical Councils, etc...).

Yes my son in law grew up catholic so he will build a bridge with them.
