Our goal was to get to Ecuador by March and at this time we know that will not happen for us. We are content. We know that God will get us there in His timing. We still have a long way to go as far as support raising and outfitting needs but we can also see a bigger picture of God using us right where we are and that makes us happy. Things do continue to move forward, just not at the pace we had hoped. But…

We have had a great winter. Lots of friends, lots of family and lots of snow!

Devin and Shantel wade through the deep snow.

We have continued to meet in our home on Monday nights with all who want to come. It continues to grow and most Monday nights we have 13 adults, 3 teens & 13 little ones. We have dinner together, we sing together, read scripture together, we learn together and pray together. It continues to be a lot of fun and our favorite night of the week.

What a joy to have a house full of friends!

Marshall is involved in a new Hope House Project in Westfield NY this time. The family they are helping have been living contently with their kitchen gutted for many years now. We received a call from mutual friends about their situation and Marshall and Charlie Hodges pulled a team together to help them out.

Something new for me this winter is that a friend and I are learning the skill of couponing. I say skill because it does take a lot of time, effort and brain work to figure out deals. Not only have I been stock piling for our 4 years in Ecuador, we (my friend April and I) have also been able to share the items we’ve collected with others. We have supplied the church with enough Kleenex for each pew, we have been able to help some families in need, we have been able to give some supplies like toothpaste, deodorant, soaps, etc to people visiting other countries and we have been able to bless friends and family with fun and useful items. We have also been teaching others how to do the same.



Here’s an example of a planned coupon shopping trip. Total cost after coupons : $1.47

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. If you know anyone that would like to know more about us and what God is doing in Ecuador let us know.

Love and Blessings! Tracy (writing for) Marshall, Tracy, Devin, Cameron & Kaiden Dixon
