Rolando

Back in October I ran into a guy from Peru as I was walking home from church. I shared the good news of God's love and forgiveness and tried to help him cope with his wife's unfaithfulness. It was a Spirit-led time. I gave him a Bible and wrote my email in the back. I thought I would hear from him. Well more than two months past and I was starting to think that maybe I would never hear from Rolando. But he finally wrote me, basically expressing how important that short meeting was for him. What an encouragement to know that the truth is bearing fruit in his life!!

Back In Town, Still Unpacking

After nearly two months on the road I am finally back at my home in Santiago. I moved out of my old apartment in downtown Santiago December 20th and flew to Nebraska that same day. After a few great days with family and friends I returned to Chile on January 6th. A day later we started a week long theological development class that all our staff in Chile. Instead of studying I spent the afternoons trying to find an apartment and sign a contract. We left for summer project on January 17th. On February 1st summer project ended and I met up with my parents who had arrived in Chile the day before. We spent a week in southern Chile. And that brings me to today. We got home at 1 a.m. and I threw my backpacks on my bed. I realized that I haven't even gotten my suitcases from January unpacked yet. It is really good to be home. I leave next Tuesday...
