Hi Everyone,
It's late and I have to be up at 6:30 AM to head to the airport with our intern who's headed back to Canada...so this is going to be short. We're coming under some serious spiritual attack the past couple of days. It's been crazy. It's really affecting one of the guys especially. It's like he's had a personality change and his heart is definitely hardened right now. If you could pray for this young guy and for us in general, we really need it. Please pray for protection and for spiritual victory for us, as well as wisdom for me....

Well...how about another story of God's amazing protection. They just keep coming.
One of the guys we work with (who doesn't live with us) was visiting the house today. After hanging out for the day, he took off about six or so to head back to the room he rents. About a half hour later, two of our guys returned home looking very somber and sad. In all honesty I wasn't paying all that much attention since I was reheating Andres' lunch and complaining that someone ate a hard boiled egg that I was saving for him. ...

Here are a few more pictures from the next day and a video of me explaining the accident. The last part of the video is the tow truck winching the truck back onto the highway. I still say that pictures and video really don't capture the craziness of this mountain. It was stupidly steep.
Also...when you hear me puffing in the video keep in mind that we're up over 4000 metres. That's above the tree line. That's my excuse...

"I'm writing this from my truck, at 2 AM in the morning, while perched two hundred feet down from the highway on the side of a cliff in the middle of the Bolivian Andes Mountains. I know my life gets crazy sometimes, but I'm pretty sure I never expected to write those words!"
Those were the first sentences of a blog post I wrote while waiting for a tow truck to come haul my butt (and my truck's) back up onto the main road...which we'd left...

I remember the first time I ever went to jail. A young friend of mine had gotten in trouble with the police in Saskatoon, and he ended up spending a year and a half or so in the maximum security youth facility in Prince Albert. He didn’t really have family or anyone to visit him, so I figured I should go see him. Eventually we ended up having a weekly Bible study together while he was there, so I got used to the whole lockup scene. But that first...

My brother wrote me the other day and hastled me that I hadn't updated the blog in awhile. The thing is, some days there's not much happening here that's interesting. So updating the blog is a bit tough. Unless you really want to hear about what I had for lunch. Actually...come to think of it...I probably have blogged about that on occasion.
Other times there's so much to write about it get's a bit overwhelming and...
