Here in Missouri, the sun is shining, the temperature is rising, and we can tell that Spring is coming. With the seasons changing, we are reminded that life is moving quickly, and we are trying our best to keep up. While the majority of our energy has been going into Alexis’s recovery for the past couple of months, we could feel that the time was coming for us to return to El Salvador. We were unsure at what point Alexis would be ready and were simply praying that God would make it clear when the time was right for us to return. 

At the beginning of this month, our team was thrilled to welcome a group of friends from Illinois as they visited Citalá. They spent the day at the local school sharing the love of Jesus with the students and then ventured up to the church to spend time with our kids as well. The kids had a great time and we are grateful that they get to experience these encounters with Christ’s love. Additionally, the team is planning to return this summer to do a prescription eyeglass clinic in Citalá. This will be meeting a huge need in the community and we are excited to see how God will continue to work through this group.
A couple of weeks ago we received word of a family emergency among Alexis’s family in El Salvador, and it became apparent that Alexis needed to go back. We booked a one-way ticket for him and made a mad dash to prepare all his things in a matter of about 24 hours. Keep in mind that El Salvador has no mailing system, so anything we need from the US we have to take with us when we go. This meant more preparation of not only his things but extra supplies we need for the ministry as well. 

Thankfully Alexis made it to El Salvador and took care of the family emergency. He has been there almost two weeks now and physically he is feeling great. The trip didn’t bother his back at all and he was even able to see a neurologist last week at a much lower cost than we would have paid here in the States. He is taking medication and plans to start physical therapy in the coming days, and will follow up with the neurologist in a month. 

Currently, I am still in the United States but hope to be joining Alexis in El Salvador very soon. We are excited to dip our toes into sports ministry this trip, as well as strengthen our connections with the community. Additionally, one of our top priorities upon my arrival will be finding a new place to live (again), as the house we are renting has sold (again). We only moved into this house (our 4th house in 4 years of marriage) a week before coming back to the United States in October of last year, so the fact that we are yet again looking for a place to live is a bit humorous. However every season has its purpose, and we know that this situation is no different. 

The start of 2023 has been interesting, to say the least, and the year is only just getting started. Through it all, we can see God’s hand at work and feel confident that there are big things to come. There are currently lots of moving parts within our life and the ministry. We hope you join us in prayer that God’s hand will be evident in every detail, and that we will be in tune with His will every step of the way. 

-With Love,
The Rosales McGuire Family
