I was a little bit nervous about the Puebla conference as time drew near. But through these last few years I have learned to more and more trust my brothers and sisters in Christ in areas that I never thought possible or even needful. My brothers and sisters in Puebla are so dear to me that I wouldn't want to hurt them for anything. So it has been really hard to think of trying to explain all that has happened over the last couple of years, and how they might receive the news of Alma and I being married and serving the Lord together. But more than any other time in my life I'm also learning the lesson of Gods working through prayer, and that I can absolutely trust Him. I think it was the second day of the conference that I felt the need to share my report. So, I wrote it out and asked permission to share along with the other pastors who also were giving their reports. I thanked them for their faithfulness in prayer, and God's faithfulness as well to answer their prayers. At the end I presented our plan to be married in July or August, and to re-apply with the WMPL as a couple. And if they would accept us, our desire to serve God along side them in Mexico. What came next was very humbling, and emotional for me to hear. Guadalupe, who had been the president of the Alliance for many years spoke along with his wife Emilia. Along with several Scripture passages demonstrated that he didn't see any reason why I couldn't re-marry, then extended a welcome to Alma and I to serve together in the Alliance. Then Antonio Aldama, the present president, did just about the same thing, welcoming us to serve them in the Alliance. The decision was unanimous, and I can only thank God for this wonderful opportunity to continue serving this church with I have come to know and love.
