So here we go. I'm trusting that all three of my readers will stay informed via my blog faithfully, but if anyone has me on a reader, you may change http://www.inlivingculture.com/ for this website: http://www.lunadesaparecida.blogspot.com/

Ministry is an exciting adventure. Things are not peachy all the time, in fact, I'm reminded almost every week how rude life is to some people, and how rude those people become because of life being so rude.
My girls are doing as well as can be expected after that first statement. I've decided that beginning in August we will begin a rigorous reading program. I want them to all read at least five new books in the next 3 to 4 weeks. I've realized, and also been informed that the culture of education is somewhat lax. My friend, Luis, and I are trying to pull some things together to make it a more intellectually cultivating environment at the Youth Home.
In addition to this, I will soon be beginning an workshop. I'm calling it a "workshop" because "class" sounds too much like hard work and learning, and kids are usually not fans of hard work. I should know, I used to be one. Since the word in Spanish for workshop doesn't actually include the word "work" in it, like in English, maybe they will come. If I build it, they will come...
Their spiritual well-being is covered by constant reminders of God's love, the love and prayer of us supervisors, and your prayers as well. Keep the children in the foremost part of your brain as you pray for me. Only God and these children are my reason for persevering!
