The Race is On

I was looking at the calendar yesterday and realized that I've got about 6 weeks left before heading back to Canada for home assignment. I can't believe it's coming up so quick! I don't think it'll really hit until I'm on the plane. But before I leave, there are things that I need to be concentrating on now.

I could be going to Santa Cruz this coming weekend to meet with the Vida Joven leaders in that area but that will depend on my back (I have my first physiotherapy session tonight - thank goodness!). I'll then be attending the national jovenes convention which takes place August 6-8 in El Alto with a few days afterward to visit the Guthries in La Paz. I also need to move out of my place by August 28th because of heading to Canada and then Tarija in January. I also want to have the girls (young jovenes leaders) over again for another sleepover at least once and have some good conversations and visits over coffee with various jovenes. Plus, I'm starting to go through Horizons myself to be better prepared for when I return in January for the start-up of Horizons.

The next six weeks will certainly not be boring but I need to stay focused and it would also certainly help if I could keep myself from falling down anymore stairs or getting sick, etc. :)
So...I ask that you be praying for me in these upcoming weeks - for my focus and energy, wisdom & good conversations (especially with the young women), my health (a return to gracefulness and coordination would be great :), and that I finish well and can leave for home assignment in peace.

Thanks so much for your support and encouragement!

'til next time,
