Half way through my time in Colombia

My how time flies, I can't believe I've already been in Colombia for a month. It has been an enlightening time here so far and I am really glad I decided to gut out the back pain and spend two months here in Colombia. I can't say that the ministry is particularly amazing or that I feel that I am making a big difference, but I am certainly learning a lot and am continually challenged in my thinking processes and contemplating my future. I have read a whole bunch of books about business and missions and find bits and pieces of them to be applicable to my situation and am continuing to put together the puzzle pieces of my call and where I feel like God is leading me. A typical day (if there is such a thing) I will spend either the morning or the afternoon in the office doing paper work, filing, collecting money or a variety of other tasks and the other part of the day I visit one of our community banks to either give a business/ethics training class, collect money or evaluate businesses to determine if we should give another loan. I feel like I am helping the ministry and the people while at the same time learning a lot. I am working on my own now in these dinky little towns around the dinky big town I live in. Definitely a unique experience. I am looking forward to getting to Mexico, but happy with my time here. I miss you all and appreciate your prayers and support. Let me know if you want to support me in Mexico and I can tell you how. Much love and God bless.
