Last weekend Bryan surprised me with a visit and a ring. My friends, Mike and Peggy, and I took a day trip to Hydra. We got off the ferry and walked around the boardwalk of the cove toward the coast. I did a double take when I saw Bryan sitting on a bench and said, “That’s my boy!” I was honored when he got on his knee and asked me to marry him. I love thinking about life with him.
Bryan’s an incredible man. He’s a physician in rural Missouri and he serves with conviction and compassion. I love the way he walks closely with Christ and ministers out of the overflow of God’s grace in his own life. He’s more than I ever imagined that God would give me in a partner for life and ministry. And he’s a lot of fun!
We’re hoping to secure a date in August for a wedding, hopefully in Colorado. Then I’ll move to Missouri. We’re excited about God’s calling for us in the area where Bryan lives and we’re excited to continue to be connected to world missions through my work with Campus Crusade.
You can pray with us that the Lord will continue to make His path straight in everything from wedding details to building the foundation for our marriage. We’re so grateful for your prayers and for your friendship!

MARTA! Congratulations! I think about our train ride in December when you first told us about Bryan, then I think about that big ol' ring on yo' finger, and then I think about just how faithful God is. He's good, and I'm so excited for what He has ready for you guys.
Marta, That is so cool. Congratulations. I am so excited for you and for your future. Bryan is very wise for choosing you and he must be a very special guy for you to say yes. I hope I get to meet him someday. Blessings to you both,
