April

Sorry it's been so long since I did a posting...I ended up with a nasty case of bronchitis (thankfully it's pretty much gone) and have just been concentrating on getting healthy again. You know how it is, life continues on and there hasn't really been a lot to share. And I fully admit that I'm pleased that nothing too embarrassing has happened that is worth sharing :)

I wanted to let you know that the translating of Horizons (the online youth training program) has begun and we're anticipating completion by mid-June! As well, this month, I'll be meeting in Oruro with a couple of the main Vida Joven youth leaders regarding the research project. We're going to finalize the issues that they want addressed in the research as well the provinces that they want me to focus on. I think once we have those issues finalized I'll be able to start the project, figure out the shedule and how it should all come together. At the end of the month, I'll be heading to Potosi for a meeting that involves all the Vida Joven leaders. It'll be my first opportunity to meet all of them and to have some time specifically in Potosi to find out what's happening there with Vida Joven...I'm planning on being there for about 1 week. They've also asked me to lead a session during that time which will be the first time to do so...I'll be starting work on that this coming week.

Please be praying for me...that my health levels out and that there isn't a return of the bronchitis. Pray for guidance and insight for all of us during the Oruro meeting regarding the research. I also definitely need your prayers as I prepare my first session that I'll be leading in Spanish in Potosi. Pray as well for the translation of Horizons...that it goes smoothly and is completed on time.

Thanks for all your support and encouragement!

'til next time,
