I grew up in southeastern Pennsylvania and we will be heading back that way in a few weeks. The main reason is becasue my brother Jake is getting married! The ceremony will actually be in western PA, but Ashley and I are taking advantage of vacation time from our jobs and staying in PA for an extra week in order to spend time with family, catch-up with friends, and share about our future!
Just in the last few days we have been able to set up meetings with 2 churches! The Lord has encouraged me by setting up these meetings. I have been somewhat stressed about the support raising part of our trip because we were not getting the response we were hoping for. The Lord has His timing and out trip is coming together really well and we are still 3 weeks from going. Thank you, Jesus!
Mike and Ashley Troxell are missionaries to La Ceiba, Honduras with Mission to the World.

What to say...
It has been quite awhile since I have posted on here. There are a few reasons for that. We are busy and blogging kind of gets moved down the list of priorities. Also, I am not very good at sharing about the sharing. I am enjoying talking with others about what the Lord has for us in Honduras, but I am not so good at typing out those conversations and making them interesting and followable.
I am looking forward to our month in New York as I am sure we will have a lot to share about our experiences there. Also, language school will for sure bring with it a lot of stories. I am mostly looking forward to actually being in Honduras and sharing with the world the awesome work the Lord is doing through Ashley and me and our team!
Anyway, we are very close to reaching the 40% mark of our monthly support which is just awesome. We are also in the process of registering for the two trainings we have left to do before we leave.
I will try harder to keep blogging and sharing. I know the Lord is working in an amazing way in our lives even now as we raise support. It is for His glory that I even do this. He is awesome!

Support Update
February was a busy month. For us it was busy in a good way. We have been able to share what the Lord is doing in Honduras with a lot of people.
This month was filled with emails and phone calls and even some presentations. We met with some families and got to share with 2 churches outside of our home church. On March 1, we sent our first official monthly prayer update. If you want to see it, click here. If you would like to be added to the list to receive these every month, please shoot me an email (michael.a.troxell@gmail.com).
We also launched our new website! www.troxellmissionaries.com
I will continue to update you all through this site, but we have included much more information about us, and Ashley now has her own blog to share what is going on in her head (if you think you can handle that). :)
It is exciting to see the Lord open the hearts of friends and family, and even of some people we barely know.
We met our February goal of 30% of our monthly pledges. We actually passed our goal and finished February with 32% of our monthly support! We are so thankful to the Lord and to all of you who are supporting us!
