The time has arrived and as we always say, "Ready or not..." We have had a few months to see this coming I have made every possible preparation that I can make. David Dixon, the IMB missionary that has been putting this together and I have been communicating more frequently about details as the date approaches. I am truly excited about this adventure and the tremendous opportunity to be used as an instrument in the hands of our Creator. And I feel incredibly honored to have the opportunity to serve along side one of our own missionaries in the Kingdom of Spain.

I will be leaving Friday afternoon from DFW and arriving in Madrid, Saturday morning. I have updated my calendar page with the "tentative" itinerary of my tirp. There have already been a couple of changes to the itinerary and I'm fairly certain there will be more as we go. I am going with a desire to share in whatever arena the Lord opens up to us while I'm there. I will do my best to update this as I can while there and communicate any changes to John say that you can keep tabs on the trip.

My website will serve as a central way for anyone who wishes to be able to see where I will be going and what my ministry will be each day. Many of you have said that you would pray for this trip - I have to tell you that I am counting on that. I will try to blog while I'm there (more than I do when I'm in the States). The plan is that I or John will be putting something up on the site daily and you have to remember that I will be about 7 hours ahead of Texas time while I'm in Spain. I love this because you all know how long and how hard I have worked to "get ahead." (Sorry!)

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
