Lost in Translation

We´re moved in to our new house in Chía, which is a great blessing. The house is a little smaller than the one we had in Bogotá, but has some nice features. It has a big patio out back with a grill, so maybe we can have people over for a grill-out. The house also has hot water, but I´m not sure how great that will be when the electric bill comes. The neighbors have been great... in one week we´ve noticed the difference in culture from Bogotá to a smaller pueblo (okay, 100,000 people isn´t that small). The neighbors actually have a minute to chat, and we´ve been able to talk to a number of them.

One negative is that the phone line was cut because the bill wasn´t paid on time, so we don´t have a telephone nor Internet. Sorry for the lack of communication.

We´ll be in a conference next week also, so we probably won´t feel totally settled for a while.

On the church front things have been going pretty well. We´re looking at the possibility of working with Wilder, a young man from our church, full-time in the ministry. We proposed the idea to the members on Sunday and will vote on the idea next Sunday. He would be like a pastoral intern for a year, working with us in every aspect of the ministry.
