one month to go

In another month i will be knee deep into the next phase of my life. I have somehow convinced my trusting wife to move three thousand or so miles away from her hometown to my hometown. My hometown is sooo much different than hers. This move will be not only to a different state, but to a different country. Yes, i mean it. My children are convinced that everyone in California speaks spanish. I agree it seems that way.
I am really starting to get excited about what it will be like to live in sunny california again. Not just because of the great weather, but for the reason why we are moving in the first place. I want spanish speakng people to know that God loves them. I want to be a part of that. God has called me to be a missionary to these people. People like me. Too many people think that you have to leave the country to be a missionary, but I think that wherever you are, that is your mission field. Do you know someone who doesn't know that God loves them? What are you waiting for, tell them. Better yet; show them. And If they don't speak english send them to me!
