Dear Friends and Family,
Praise the Lord! I hope this report finds you all doing well and busy with the work of God. We can feel your prayers, and are so grateful for your support.
Our visas were approved for the entire three month stay! Praise God! This is a miracle and we know it is a direct answer to prayers. We have been visiting various churches, preaching and teaching. Next week we will start specific training seminars for leaders and church workers at all the various churches. We will focus on one church each week. We are anxious to get started, and believe God will do great things.
We have also started extensive Spanish training. Bro. Danis Raul is teaching us Spanish. Of course, just living in Cuba is the best Spanish course we can have!
We are staying in a house on the outskirts of Havana. It is beautiful... out in the middle of nowhere, but very peaceful. It is plenty big for the three of us. It's very close to our friend Bro. Juan, and he has been a tremendous support, help, and encouragement to us. He stops by every day to see how we are doing, often bringing food. He is extremely gifted musically and is teaching me lots of his songs in Spanish. This is great practice for me, and I will start singing them soon at the various churches.
It is amazing how we adapt as humans. We wake up to roosters almost every morning. We have lizards running freely in our house. We rarely use the air conditioner... the weather is so beautiful. We're eating foods that are very new to us.... and the same foods over and over. Everything is different, yet I find myself very content. It goes to show that when you're in the will of God, he takes care of you. I'm thankful that He is our very present help in every situation.
We will be returning sometime mid-April. Please continue to pray for us, but don't worry about us. We are happy to be right where God wants us, and know that He is taking care of our every need. This is a special time in the History of the Kingdom of God, and none of us want to miss the chance to be part of something so special. We love you all and ask that you keep Cuba in your prayers.
Lots of love,
Rachael, Jimmie, and Ava
