Mission: Urban

Here is a video clip of a speech that I think is worth showing:

We got back from vacation last night.  It was the longest vacation we’d ever been on, 2 whole consecutive weeks.  After this I don’t think we’ll ever be able to do a vacation for less time.  When we took 1 week vacations back in the States I never real rested: Day 1 would be the [...]

It’s been just over two weeks since we returned from La Plata, and I am still processing what we did and what happened there.  Some days it seems like it must have been a dream, and we weren’t actually there.  Other days I am SURE we were there, but it is like thinking about something [...]

After an overload day on Sunday, we spent Monday being pure tourists!   It was fun, informative and very unique.   We loaded the bus and headed for Buenos Aires – lots of interesting sights along the way, and Brian and Nate probably got tired of all of the ‘tourist’ questions, but they tolerated us nonetheless.

Okay – can you believe that while we were here, we were given a homework assignment!   We were told to READ Psalm 105 and 106, then write a Psalm about our life….  So we did this individually, then collectively read our Psalms, [...]
