This is what I wrote today in an email to a friend, so I'll just cut and paste here to make it easier! :)This next month (May) will be super hard for all of us. Jose just (today) took on a FOURTH job!! He’s teaching Spanish at the Christian high school, as always, and doing the janitor job at night, as before, and now soccer has started, so he’s reffing soccer games on Saturdays, like before (fall and spring seasons, this is his third year) and today he took on a carpentry job weekday mornings. This will be so hard!! It means we’ll only see him for 1.5 hrs every day. I’ve been going to English service at our church alone w/ the 3 kids b/c Jose’s too tired to go (he preaches for Spanish service), and now I will have kid duty 100%. God will give us grace and we will make it through. Only He knows how!!
So this means that in June, God willing, Jose will not renew his teaching contract, he will quit his night job (no more health insurance), and he will apply to Multnomah Seminary to start in the fall for his MDiv! So this next month will be PAINFUL but it means the road to seminary, and no more working at night, which will both be amazing and wonderful things. Also it means he will be able to dedicate time and efforts to the Spanish ministry at church weekday evenings (visiting people, doing a Bible study, etc.). Something that he desperately would love to do (and it needs to be done!). So here we go!
Thank you for your prayers.
