In the Ladies Bible Study at church, we have started a book called, Calm my Anxious Heart. I encourage every woman to read this book if you have a chance. It's so good! In the beginning, it shares a missionary lady's story about her life on the mission field. She was in a really hot part of Africa with no air conditioning and other hard circumstances; however, she was perfectly content. Ella Spees had a simple habit of contentment and I wanted to share that with each of you. May we each live our life in this same regard.
Ella Spees' Holy Habit of Contentment from the book, Calm my Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow
* Never allow yourself to complain about anything- not even the weather.
*Never picture yourself in any other circumstances or someplace else.
*Never compare your lot with another's.
*Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise.
* Never dwell on tomorrow-remember that tomorrow is God's, not ours.
Now believe me when I say that I am still working on this in my own life, because I have always struggled with contentment. God is teaching this to me through dealing with my daily struggle of fibromylagia or waiting on his timing for the mission field. I know that my God knows what he is doing, and it's best for me to simply trust the portion he has given me.
"Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure." Psalm 16:5
Blessings to all of you!

February Update
Hello family and friends!
David and I are so excited to see God's hand in our lives. He has been so good to us, and continues to mold us on a daily basis into what he wants us to be. Thank you very much for your prayer support. We greatly appreciate it.
We sent out our February newsletter yesterday and I tried to post it on here, but was having some trouble. If you didn't receive one and would like to, please let us know by giving your email/mailing address.
Our church plant is growing so much! God is really bringing families to our church. We had about 4 new families come just yesterday, not to mention all of the other families we have seen over the last month or so. Praise the Lord! On a good Sunday, we are running a little over 50 people. = ) David and I are so excited to be a part of such a vital ministry. We know this is great training for the foreign mission field. God is also doing a work in our ministries we are involved in such as: Spanish Bible study at the Spanish restaturant, Pancho Villas (David), Ladies study in our home (Hannah), Salem Pregnancy Care Center counseling (Hannah), and of course studies throughout the week with our church we attend (both of us).
Please keep the prayers coming that God will continue to show us his will concerning Compass Aviation. This is the missions mobilizer we had mentioned in our newsletter along with the last post on here. David would have the opportunity to work and fly these general aviation planes. In order for us to prepare to go to the mission field, David needs as many flight hours as possible. This would be such a tremendous opportunity for David and I. We want God's will so please pray for us concerning that. Please let us know how we can pray for you as well.
Love in Christ,
David and Hannah Mora

Compass Aviation Visit
This past Friday, January 27th, David and I had the opportunity to visit Compass Aviation in Shelby, NC. We have been praying about what God would have us to do next in regards to missions. Compass Aviation is a missions mobilizer where David could get more experience working on airplanes and flying and we would be raising support at the same time. If this were to work out, I would be looking for a teaching position in the Shelby area. This opportunity would be a great experience for both of us. Please pray with us as we seek God's will as to whether Compass Aviation is in his plans for our lives. We will be sending out a February newsletter soon and we will be mentioning more about this wonderful opportunity. If you don't receive our newsletters and would like to, please give us your email address or mailing address.
Thanks for your prayers!!
