Update!

Time here is flying by and it is harder than I think to find time to get online and send emails! My last time online I had planned to post up lots more photos but it takes ages so only one made it onto the blog!

Am still having a great time out here, learning heaps, coping with the dogs, eating lots of dulce de leche, and enjoying the sunshine!

George Verwer, head of a missionary sending organisation called Operation Mobilisation, came to speak to us last week - or the week before... It was not a planned visit and was a huge privilege to have him speak to us... he was awesome -- very inspiring and challenging and had so much energy for his age!

Then last week we mainly had teaching on worldview and culture. At the beginning of the week we did an exercise where the Latinos had to write down three things that came to their mind when they thought of Westerners and vice versa. The Latins all had comments like -- cold, structured, not good dancers, closed, don´t share, while we´d put down that they were all warm, open, friendly and good dancers!! It actually caused quite a lot of offence at first but has resulted in much more unity and it was very eye-opening to see how we are perceived!!!

This week has been a fairly intense week of teaching on Deliverance/Liberation. It´s quite hard to summarise and put into words what we´ve learnt and seen - but let´s say it has been extremely eye-opening!

We still don´t know about Outreach locations yet (due to go in two months time) but will hopefully be hearing about that soon. The weather is getting hotter and hotter as we enter summer, and those amongst us used to colder cultures are visibly starting to wilt! I think it won´t be long till we are jumping into the small pool here every break time to cool off.

Generally feeling very happy, at home and settled here! Will do my best to update a big more regularly and to email too!
