So... it's been a while... my bad

The other day I found myself reminiscing about this past summer when I suddenly realized that I had a blog... and that I hadn't even looked at it in about 6 months. My bad. But here goes; I am up and running again.

To give an idea of what my life has been like since this summer I'll give a quick summary:
Moved back home for a month, went to language school in Guatemala for 9 weeks, moved back home for now 2 months, and worked a job where I had no idea what I was doing.

See, you didn't really miss that much. Besides me having emotional breakdowns during language school, some of the funniest awkward moments of my life, climbing an active volcano, deep loneliness, awful readjustment shock, and most importantly, me explaining all the moments where I just feel stupid.

But as of now, I am back on track. The reason I went to language school was due to the fact that I felt called to return to Mission Lazarus. And as of two weeks ago, I got accepted into the program with a two year commitment. Therefore the blog returns so that I may try to capture in detail what it's like to have to fund raise, get packed, leave home, work in a foreign land, try to speak Spanish, and most importantly: deny myself, pick up my cross, and follow Him.

I will try to update this once a week, and be as bluntly honest as possible. shocker.

as always, wsl,
