Baby Steps...

I'm a slow learner - care to join me on my journey of faith?

411 on Chinito Grande...

I'm just a simple guy that God's blessed with amazing friends and family, all whom of which have all contributed towards the young man that I am today. I love meeting new people and experiencing new things, in hopes that I am able to make a difference wherever this journey the Lord has for me, takes me. This is my story...

Food for Thought...

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. ~Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Happy Easter! - Ants In my pants???

Posted on 9:49 PM No Comments
So, this will be interesting. The “y” key on my keyboard doesn’t work, which means that every time I need to type the letter “y” I will need to copy and paste it from another document. Not sure why its not working, but maybe its perhaps caused by the crazy amount of ants present in South America. One crawled into my keyboard last night and never came out. Its funny all the adjustments I’ve noticed people make in their lives because of the ants. Rubber sealed containers for sugar and other various sweets. In fact today I was in my room on my computer to hear Parker (the 2 year old son of the missionary couple of whom I’m temporarily living with until I find a place) scream and start to cry. Sure enough the poor kid actually had ants in his pants! There was a ton of them that got in and made his little back side pretty raw. They made their way into his diapers, roamed around and left their bite marks all over his little bum. He was quite the sport after the fact as he excitedly retold his experiences with his wide eyes at dinner. Just imagine a cute kid describing, “There were ants in m pants and oww!!! It was not fun.”

Well I’m going to keep this blog short and see if I can figure out how to fix this keyboard issue. On another note, it’s been great getting to meet new friends and learn as much as I can about this beautiful culture. It’s funny how in reality, the guerilla and danger in Colombia is actually quite a small representation of the country as a whole; yet around the world we never get to hear about the beautiful side of the country. I’m slowly learning more about this side and so far the modesty, simplicity of life and relational culture and so far, I love it.

As of right now, please keep in your prayers:

- My continued growth in learning the language and culture
- Building deep and authentic relationships with locals
- An apartment or place to live that will be a welcoming place of fellowship
- My keyboard to work properly =P
