Welcome to Dallas, TX


Welcome to Texas

Good day fellow readers. As most of you know, and for those who don’t know, The Machuca Jr. and the Machuca Sr. have decided to make a fantastic move to the good state of Texas. Most of you are wondering what was it that caused such a huge change and what motivated us to come here. For Christ’s sake its 107 degrees here today who would do such a thing? Well, we did. 


                We moved to this state with a mission. To succeed and expand our careers but most of all, our mission is to devote our hearts and our faith and help the church of LIFE in Dallas grow. We are part of a great team placed in the City of Dallas to revive this church that has been dormant for a long time. We are here to bring life to this community that has not seen a strong Latino Christian church stride for a very long time. We left everything behind us to serve the Lord here and we are happy and excited to be here because we know that this is a calling that has been placed in our hearts to pursue.  
               

 So there you have it. The great explanation as to why we are here. It has been a fantastic experience. Elijah is growing up and he is talking so much. He is a little speaker box. He’s bright and smart; he is potty trained now, and Natalie Grace… Well she’s a charm all in one small nugget of heaven. She started walking at 10months and now you cannot stop her. It’s so hard to believe that she’s going to one year old in just two days. (Gifts and money is accepted as at any time lol). It’s incredible to see your children grow so fast. I have been blessed to have such great kids and a family to love them unconditionally.  They love it here too. My son loves worship and cannot wait to arrive at church every Sunday. He asks constantly when we are going to church throughout the week. It’s a blessing to see him seek the presence of God. His desire to be at church constantly brings joy to my life. There is no doubt that bringing my family here has been the best decision I have made thus far.
                So I leave you here fellow reader. All caught up (well… somewhat), with what is going on with our lives here in Dallas. In all honesty God has been faithful and we are happy to be able to share this story with a whole lot of good news.
Best Wishes,

Raul Jr.
