While at the Ceasa (large fruit and veggie open air market) we always make it a point to leave a “Reflections” with each one of the friends that donate veggies and fruits toward our work. We do this quite faithfully but the results are not always so obvious. I know that the Word we give [...]
Spending lots of time meeting and talking to relatives. Meeting relatives is somewhat of a paradox. I mean, in some cases you don’t know them at all, you’ve never met them, but when you do there is an almost instant connection or bond or something? Who knows. We went over to the College where my [...]
Slept in a bit late but did get up early enough to spend some time reading the Word. We decided to cook a dinner for my Uncle and his Wife in appreciation for letting us use their camper. Spent some time at my brothers apartment figuring out the best way to make an Indian meal [...]
Just spent the last three days at a Christian businessmen’s convention doing simultaneous translation from Portuguese and English into Spanish. Thank the Lord for this, because the financial help was well needed and we were able to get to meet some new friends. Our team consisted of four people, two to translate into English and [...]
Vas writes: Hey everyone, I just thought I post a letter I sent to People Magazine both in Australia and the states. Some people have been asking some questions about my letter to Rolling Stone and this might clear things up as well as give some of you something to ask about concerning our more [...]
Joni writes: Our day off! I had such a nice day! Slept and slept and slept some more. Got some good Word time. Vas and I also discovered this restaurant with a beautiful view and good food and great prices—I was impressed. We’ve been so busy lately, it’s was nice to just sit and talk [...]
Yes, that’s exactly what it was, five whole days of board meetings. Actually I had some fun. Aside from playing a good soccer game everyday there, we worked on planning the national youth camp that we will host in November. It will mark the glorious ending to the Activated Incentive Program (AIP). I came out [...]
Sunday: Slept soundly at the convent until I couldn’t sleep anymore. We met with some of the politicians of the Nakapiripirit district yesterday afternoon, and made plans with them: We’d get a tour of Karamoja in the morning while everyone was still in church, then after the service, come back to the convent to distribute [...]
Spent the day in a nearby mountain… okay fine, more like a hill. It was big though, and took us four hours to climb to the top where we found a little old deserted helipad and a great view. Then another two-and-a-half hour trek back down. I’ve never done anything exactly like it and although [...]
The weather here is great, and the camping has been wonderful. Sleep in late, get up and have brunch and head off to the beach (well it’s a little bit of sand beside the lake) and laze around in the sun. The lake is pretty cold, but we went swimming in a little lagoon and [...]
