The youth congreso/convention just finished up - at 1am today. The joys of council meetings :) Jeff Carter did a fantastic job with the workshop and keynote address regarding youth and integral mission and he was able to reconnect with friends he hadn't seen in more than 20 years. It was great being back with youth I haven't seen for months and I'm pleased to say that I survived council meetings that went to 2 in the morning.
Tomorrow we head to Sucre to meet with youth leaders there. Then it's off to Potosi on Tuesday. Jeff will be speaking about the Calling of a Youth Leader as well as Horizons. We met with the first to-be mentors of the Horizons program. Danny and Sara want to go through the program and then the 3 of us will do a test run before launching it. It's exciting times!
I'm also excited that the new jovenes national president and vice-president who were elected yesterday are from Tarija! I wasn't so excited about the huge spiders I encountered where we were sleeping :)
Thanks for all the prayers...will write again in a couple of days. It's time to get some much needed sleep.
'til next time,
rebecca
Sounds busy, but good. :) Besides the huge spiders. *shiver* I HATE spiders.

Have been praying for you and Jeff to get enough rest and safety for all the travel.
