What's Up

I've been neglectful...sorry about that! I've mentioned in the past while that I would be heading to Potosi soon. Well, the time has come. If all goes well, I'll be on the bus tonight for about 9 hours or so and will be there for about a week including a bit of time in Sucre to meet with the Vida Joven leaders there regarding what's happening in their area and the National Adolescentes Camp in July. During the week we'll also be finalizing the research project (regarding parameters, locations to focus on, etc.) and then I'll be able to get started. All the Vida Joven leaders will be getting together next weekend in Potosi for a training time. I'll be leading a session on leadership and influence - this will be my first time for leading a session.

I ask for your prayers - everything from traveling safety, my Spanish, the research project, the training time, and meaningful conversations. Also, part of the culture here is "manana, manana" - which basically means that details are figured out as you go or "tomorrow". The details of the week are a bit... "sketchy" shall we say, which can be frustrating so also pray that I have a good attitude and see the humor in it all as I go - literally not knowing much - just the goals for the week. No comments from the peanut gallery regarding my knowledge base (you know who you are)!!! :):)

I have no idea how much internet access I'll have for the next week so it could be a week or more before I can let you know how it all goes.

'til next time,
rebecca
