I'd like to begin this note with my thanks to all who prayed for me over the past week. After a rough couple of days, I am doing much better. I have had the necessary time to process and seeing all my friends who came down for the funeral helped a lot as well.
Alliance Academy graduation is tomorrow and with that comes the departure of nearly all the students. Goodbyes will be... well, goodbyes. I never look forward to them but I have become somewhat numbed. It still will not be easy.
At the same time, my first team is here and running. I will be running three more over the course of the summer. This team's leader graduated from the Alliance Academy back in '93 and oddly enough, remembers me as a second grader in the Alliance dorm. I have really enjoyed being with this team so far and have no reason to expect anything different for the remainder of their stay. Carmen Bajo is the ministry site where they will spend most of their time. It is a very poor section of north Quito with an Alliance church that partners with Compassion International to run social aid programs as well.
Thank you for your prayers yet again. I cannot tell you how much it encourages me to know I have you backing me up.
