Well, yesterday Andria turned (don’t guess I should say) one year older. I want to thank God for giving me such an amazing friend. She is way more than what I dreamed a wife should be. These last few months have been some of the hardest months of our lives. We have gone through things we never dreamed we would of had to go through. It is in the difficult times where you can really appreciate what God has given you though. The last few months we have dealt with starting a new church, having people that we have invested our lives in turn around and pretend that we have done nothing but hurt them. We have even had daily threats against our lives because of the guy in the church that ran away with the money from people here in the city. The last few months have been very very difficult for me, for her and for our family. Stress levels that we had never seen before have become a daily occurence.

I am so thankful for the maturity that God has given my wife. She is way more mature than a normal person of her age. I am thankful that when I came home day after day of very difficult meetings with people who want to talk bad about us and many other things that I came home to a wife that was loving and supportive vs. bitter and someone else that I had to deal with. I am amazed day after day at how God uses her to help us go forward for his honor and glory.

Andria and I got married in 1996 and all I can say is that I cannot even imagine not being married to her. She is my absolute best friend, she is an amazing companion and just an amazing person. I am grateful that God allowed me to marry her and that he uses us together for his honor and glory. Andria, you are my hero. I want you to know that I am very grateful for all you do in the ministry here in Peru. Your attention to detail is second to none, your work with the music makes everything we do look great. I look forward to another 60 years growing closer together. Thanks for all you do. I indeed have found a Virtuous Woman.
