It is feeling more and more real as the days go by that we will be moving. In my last post, I talked about one reason this reality is becoming more clear: 50% of our monthly support!
Thursday brought another reason. We officially put our house on the market. This is the place that has been home for us the last 2 and a half years. We love the home the Lord provided for us. We are so thankful that we were able to spend these years in this home. We are also so ready to be in Honduras.
Selling our house is another major step in the direction of becoming full-time missionaries. By no means is our house sold, but we have it on the market and are hoping that the Lord will find a buyer within the next few months.
Mike and Ashley Troxell are missionaries to La Ceiba, Honduras with Mission to the World.

1/2
Today is a big day in our support raising lives. We officially hit the 50% mark of our monthly pledges!
I was going to write some more about our time in PA and the churches we shared with..
I guess I still can.
Thank you to:
~Covenant Reformed Church - New Holland, PA - we got to share after church on 4/11 and we were 'called back' to share with the leadership on 4/13
~Pine Grove Church - Bowmansville, PA - we were able to do our longest presentation yet (about 40 mins.) at the Wed. night Bible study and meet with many people who remembered Mike from years ago when the Troxell family attended this church
~Christ Presbyterian Church - we spoke to the adults during the Christian Education time
Did I mention we have half of our monthly support???

Busy week in PA
It has been great to get back to PA for me. It is where I grew up and where I know a lot of people. Ashley and I flew to PA last week in order to attend my brother's wedding. It was an awesome ceremony and we are so glad Alana is now officially part of the family!
In addition to the wedding, we have been here in PA meeting with churches and individuals sharing about our upcoming adventure into Central America. So far we met with 2 churches and talked with a handful of individuals. It has been busy and relaxing at the same time.
This coming Sunday we are speaking at Christ Presbyterian Church in Reading, PA. After that we will head back home and back to our 'normal' routine.

The Purpose of This Book
It is Easter morning. It is awesome taking time to reflect that Jesus came to this world and died for me. He not only died, but he beat death so that I no longer have to die.
In reading John's account of the resurrection and the following events, I came upon this:
The Purpose of This Book.
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. -John 20:30-31
I am so thankful that I have the book of John as well as the rest of the Bible so that I may believe that Jesus is the Christ and I may have life in his name.

April
Into another month we go. April has arrived. We have been looking forward to this month for a few special reasons. For one, my brother, Jake, is getting married in about a week! Since we are heading to Pennsylvania for the wedding, we are going to do some support raising there as well. :)
We are speaking in 3 churches in the week we are in PA! We are also getting together with firends and individuals to share about Honduras.
Today we sent out monthly prayer update. If you are interested, here is a link to the pdf of what we sent: http://www.weebly.com/uploads/3/6/9/0/3690607/prayer_letter_april_2010.pdf
Our support continues to come in and we continue to be overwhelmed at how the Lord provides. As of March 31, we have 42% of our monthly pledges committed! We are staying on track with what we feel is the Lord's plan for our departure.
