We have been planning a missions trip to Barcelona for this coming April, and have been really encouraged by the amount of interest shown by individuals and churches.
Unfortunately we will have to postpone the trip until April 2013. Melissa is expecting our second child right around that time. Also we really feel like it would make more sense to blitz the streets of Barcelona with Gospel literature when we are already living there, have much of language school done, and are able to capitalize more directly on building relationships with contacts we will make. We have also had many express interest in coming for a trip once we are already on the ground, and organizing one larger trip seems like a better plan than trying to do two back to back.
I also think we would be able to make the trip more profitable and impacting if we wait until we start our first term, as we will know the city better.
Thanks so much to everyone who has been planning on coming, I really hope you’ll come and help us in 2013!




I know how you feel!
Haha… yeah just saw you guys had to reschedule too. Those babies are inconvenient!
aw, how can you hate it and LOVE it at the same time?! a new baby to LOVE wins though —i was wondering how that was gonna work
….i’d still like to be included in 2013, and maybe more of our group can come! would love to see you all and get a more detailed update…maybe before too long….
Yeah, the baby definitely wins! I really would love to come see y’all again soon. We’ll have to make it happen. Thanks for your prayers, love you guys
Great news about the baby…and per Joanna about the date change for the trip! She graduates in June 2012 and has informed us “a trip to Spain to help babysit the babies would be a WONDERFUl Graduation trip!!” Maybe we will make it a family vacation!
Awesome! I have had so many people already say that date works out better… this trip will be fantastic!
Congrats on the baby. We just saw Joe and Leticia (BBC, Fairfield, Ohio) this last wednesday and are very excited about their baby as well.
When you are ready to go, just let us know since we want to be part of that blitz in Spain.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. The Weddings
