Well, we made it home and are slowly adjusting back to normal life. I can not overestimate how much the 24 other people who went to Nicaragua now mean to me. The week that was was full of love, joy, and became a spiritual feast. The week that is ahead (looking at my own life) is full of work. I'm officially back.
I'm having Roger edit video of the two hours of footage I have. We'll show some of it Sunday at The Bridge. When we get it done, I'll get a copy to our delegation so they can pop it in their DVD player and think back on what we learned and experienced.
I had a great time and I learned very much, but one thing sticks out to me more than others. I turned on my TV to catch cardinal highlights and I realized that the fellowship with people each night at MEFEL was much more fulfilling than watching a T.V. Thank you all. The discussions around the food table, in front of the dorms, and around the poo hole (while working mind you - we dug a hole for an outhouse) were more than worthwhile. And I especially want to thank "The Tower Fellowship" for the theology discussions, laughter, and prayer. I encourage you all to keep meeting together periodically to lift each other up and hold each other accountable.
Our group will be uploading photos to http://www.photobucket.com/chacocente . Make sure and check them out.
And since we all have to go back to work... Let Colossians 3:17 be an inspiration
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (NIV)
