the Lord at work has been awesome. The next couple months our meeting schedule begins to slow down after a busy fall with every Sunday having a meeting. We are praying that this is an indication that perhaps we will hear that our support will be at 100% by January. However, this is all up to the Lord and His perfect timing. Although we enjoy going to new churches, meeting to new people, and ministering to the saints, our heart longs to be on the field. The Lord has taught us much during this time.Fellowship Bible Church now has a new Pastor, Terry Wragg. What a joy to begin to get to know him and he and his wife has already put his arms around our family in friendship and in prayer. Rebecca, his wife is a great encouragement to Becky, reminding her that this time of deputation all happens for a reason. Terry and Rebecca both show genuine hearts to serve Christ and the flock ministering with zeal the Word of God. It has been a blessing to begin this relationship with them in person, verses a 21 hour plane ride separating us.
Steve: I have been able to devote more time to preparation of messages, studying Spanish, keeping up with email, making phone calls, and minister to people. It has been amazing to see the Lord provide for our family as I work less hours every week. It was certainly a step of faith that the Lord helped me to over come. Largely overcoming my own pride, fearing what others would think of me if I were to work less and devote more time to deputation. Instead, we have received greater encouragement and understanding hearts.
Becky: My class with NSTM is drawing to an end (Theology Proper) . I have enjoyed it so much! Thankfully I am feeling
better, after fighting a sinus infection for two weeks, just in time for the final and a paper. Steve got me a gym membership and I am excited to work out, but it will also be a great opportunity to meet new people in town. I have begun to think about what we will be bringing Argentina, especially with the Christmas coming up. Basically, what sort of things will make our home feel like home down there.Where we've been:

Maybe we'll be your "Big Brother"??? Mary's sister has been there since September and is our Big Sister. She has helped us to rent a home nearby the school and worked out alot of different arrangements for us. She loves the school and has said so many great things about it.
