After being stuck inside with a bad case of the flu in 98 degree weather, I'm ready this week for a new adventure.

We're headed out to the Gateway (El Portal) for the next week to head up a project with a high school group from Birmingham, Alabama. From what I know, we'll be involved in some construction, vacation Bible school, colonia visits, and possibly some of our usual ministries as well.

I will, at any one moment in time, be "in charge" of a dozen high-schoolers, since there will be about 60 or so here. It's exciting and overwhelming at the same time. My body's still recovering from the nastiness that managed to make its way through the entire household, so please pray for my well-being and renewed strength as well as the well-being of the other eight people on our team, and the two leaders that will be with us this week.

I'm ready to get a little bit of leadership under my belt. Hopefully there should be an update of that for you all soon.

Thanks for your prayers and support. God bless!
