Death by Cornmeal in the Highway (almost)
I was on the way back from the airport, having just picked up Rich and Jil when we were coming over a little hill/overpass and ran into cornmeal (processed corn, maybe for animal feed?) in the highway. It was wet and there was a lot of it, we started to hydroplane. I was in the left lane [...]
Another New Beginning
Recently, we were informed by our teammates, Rich and Jil, that they were strongly feeling led by God to not return to Argentina.

The Unimaginable Path
If you would have asked me after my senior year of high school if I thought I’d be where I’m at today, I probably would have responded no way. It’s not that I didn’t have a desire to serve God, it’s just that I never imagined it would be on this path. It’s really awesome to [...]
