Gearing up for Patagonia
It is New Year’s Eve, but we are not counting down the hours until midnight. We are not waiting for the ball to drop. No, this year we are counting the hours until 8am when we leave for the airport and our mission trip… Continue Reading “Gearing up for Patagonia”

A few weeks ago, my American teammate, Alicia, and I led a hike for the female student leaders. It was the best kind of hike because we started at the top and hiked to the bottom. 🙂 The theme for the day was “What… Continue Reading “God Sees”
(Grace + Truth)Time = Growth
