(Anna) In August of 2022, I uprooted my life and moved from Virginia to Mexico to go serve as a missionary teacher there for two years in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. Despite what everyone said when I left, I was not looking for a guy, I was focused on missions and teaching. Chris was not in Mexico when I moved there, he was in Virginia working for the summer. We met at church when Chris first returned back to Mexico in October. I saw this new surfer boy at the back of the church. Being the great Christian I am, I figured I should say "Hi" to the new, cute boy of course. Through spending time with him teaching me to surf and spending days on the beach, we got to know each other's interests and hearts for the Lord. (Chris) After sharing and spending a lot of time with Anna, the happiest, most beautiful and funniest person I've ever met, I fell in love. I was amazed by her passion to do missions and her heart for serving the Lord around the world, which aligned with the same desire the Lord had put in my heart years ago. That is when, I realized I really wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I trusted in God, and He showed me I had to let go of all the plans I had for myself and follow the path He was now leading me on. (Anna and Chris) Our new goal is to honor the Lord together wherever He calls us. We both share the same love for travel and adventure, but our deeper desire is to serve Christ together wherever we go for the rest of our lives. Both of us have seen and experienced a lot of the brokenness and emptiness in this world because people have not heard of the message of salvation that is found through Christ Jesus. We both feel we have been called as a married couple to go, do missions, and change the world by sharing the good news of Christ to the ends of the earth.
