The Weekend

I got back last night from the training weekend in Oruro. I'm trying to think of how to describe it all. The training time itself and consilio (council) meetings went well. I was really pleased with my session (I started promoting Horizons and led them in a discussion on what they believe is going on with the teens in various areas - e.g. family, abuse, sexual issues, faith, etc.). But I must say the trip to Oruro left a bit to be desired. I ended up with food poisoning for most of the 12 hour bus ride. And then part way through the night, a truck driving with no lights forced us off the road. Everything ended up fine (praise God!) but I guess the only way to describe that trip was "interesting" with a desire to never repeat it again. :) I decided to bus it to La Paz to spend a couple of days with the Guthries and then fly back to Tarija. It was great to see the Guthries, have good talks, get caught up on some of my sleep and have a much shorter trip home :)

I can't thank you enough for your prayers. I'm really excited about these upcoming months of getting more and more settled into ministry. I'll share more in upcoming weeks.

'til next time!
