I can say that my time here in Colombia has been an interesting one and although I am most definitely ready to leave have very much enjoyed my time here. I have learned to live with my back issues and hope that shortly they will be able to be resolved, but that has not really been the story of my time here and I am greatful for that. I came here with hesitation worried about my back and almost deciding not to come, but I praise God that I have been able to be here and despite being in pain be effective in my job and what I am doing. I continue to be very busy at work and enjoy the challenges and new opportunities that my job has presented me. I have most definitely learned a lot and am very grateful for the time I have spent here. I have had some great moments with clients and enjoy my work, but can say that my most enjoyable and rewarding moments have come in my two visits to my brothers at the drug rehab center. It has been amazing to be able ro relate to them as brothers and equals and just be able to share with them some of my experience and my journey of faith so far. Last night I shared with them from one of my favorite stories in Mark 2 about the friends who carried the paralytic to Jesus and just shared how as a church, as brothers, sometimes we are the paralytic and sometimes the friends and how we carry each other (not to steal a good U2 song). I really enjoyed the night and just being able to share life with them.
On the México front, I will find out today whats up with Spearhead. Please keep that in your prayers, that the leaders would have wisdom to make wise decisions. Its really a tough call. Thanks for all your continued prayers and support.
