Classes

Classes continued this week with preaching and ministry ethics. We had a group that runs an orphanage down the road come and visit the base this weekend. It was good getting to interact with new people and see some new faces. They came for one night and we played a three hour game of phase ten. We’ve had a few visitors to the base since I’ve been here. Most are groups or couples that are just passing through and want to spend a night on the campground here. A team working with the LIFE project just arrived today and they will be going out to the villages on Thursday.
Base life is pretty good. We had our first real trip into town for shopping purposes this past Saturday. It was nice to stock up on snacks and get a few needed supplies. Its still amazing to me that I’m spending three solid months in such a beautiful place. The contrast is interesting from when I did my study abroad six years ago. I was in Austria looking at mountains everyday and now I’m looking at a gorge everyday. Its so beautiful to see every morning as I walk into the conference center. Well, I know it was short but that’s about all for this update. Hopefully I’ll have more to report next week. Have a great week everyone.
