Responsibilidades

It’s been a long while since an update. My deepest apologies my friends I guess I don’t realize how much time goes by. Speaking of time, I’ve passed the half way point. Day 70 was on Sept 8th, and as of today I have 62 more days to go! Time does fly.

I’ve been spending my recent time with a few added responsibilities, one of them being helping to coordinate the sunday night services for the younger crowd. For those of you who go to Willow and know what Axis is, it’s kinda sorta like that. It’s been pretty interesting to be involved with the church at this level. I never would have imagined I’d be doing something like it, but it’s been super fun. A little bit difficult of course, considering the spanish language barrier, but a lot of people speak some english too, so it helps when I find myself stuck.

The first weekend that I helped coordinate the service we were talking about the prophet Habakkuk. I wanted to add some creativity to it, so I decided to make a video for the service… It was my first attempt ever at the movie program on my mac, so don’t judge me too much. Also, youtube won’t let me have the music in the background that was originally there. If you know the song “Cold Water” by Damien Rice, that’s what is suppose to be playing in the background. It’s a lovely slow, sad piano kind of song.
This is the english version of the video. I personally like it in spanish better…I’m not sure why. But here it is for your viewing pleasure:

On top of coordinating services, I also help Mark keep his brain. haha. I’m just kidding, but I’ve become his note to self note taker I suppose I wish I could have one of those. I’m juggling a lot of different things, but it’s exciting. Getting checklists and reports together from some potential new Bolivian projects has been cool to see unfold. I’m a fan of gmail’s new to-do list feature. Super handy!

In other news, the 18th is independence day in Chile, so there are lots of festivities, empanada eating, and traditional dancing going on this week. It’s also required to put the flag on your house, otherwise you get a fine! How ironic This week should be fun. I think I’m heading out tonight to watch some dancing and eat Chilean food. Good times

Thanks for all your support and prayers!

Until next time,

Chao Todos! Dios te bendiga
