Well, friends... I have quickly figured out that ministry is a jazz-dance, constant twirling and moving in unplanned directions... or one thing planned, that totally changes and you have to go with plan G...
Examples:
<>I was supposed to be on a 2 full-day surgical outreach in Ensenada, Mexico right now, assisting with cleft-lip and palate surgeries through the Rotary and Mexican Govt... took weeks of set-up and document verification and registration... and poof! Put on hold (indefinitely) because the Ensenada hospital is pack-full of patients sick with H1N1-related issues.
<>SO, that meant re-arranging the shipment of hats that were going to be given out at THAT outreach, sending them down to central Baja Mex for another outreach...
<>Set up a number of first-step educational modules to be 'in-process' for the Zambia HIV/AIDS work, spent quite some time trying to get answers on what's actually happened there, and nobody is replying... typical, if you're not 'on-site'. little happens or moves along...
So, Lori is in Michigan visiting with our family and ministry friends... and the dance continues. I have been able to get back on track with a number of projects with the new laptop finally configured... need to update the website...
... and the dance continues. The trick is to keep dancing, even when you run into walls...
your bro, Chris
