Our Christmas tree is still up ...

(By Erik)

Yes, that's how far behind we are on our post-holiday chores. It seems like we haven't been able to catch our breath since mid-December. Now that Bobby, Tamie and I have finished the content for the February issue of the Chronicle, I have a bit more time to reflect, relax and unpack.


I spent almost a week in the South American nation of Bolivia. The photo you see is a close-up of "Cristo de la Concordia" in Cochabamba, a city in the central part of the country. I have many stories to tell about this trip (including being stuck in the Santa Cruz airport waiting for a flight. It was supposed to leave at 7:15 p.m. Thursday and didn't actually get off the ground until 6 a.m. Friday. The song "YMCA" is still going through my head. I'll explain later.)

Some of you who read this blog knew Adam Langford, the missionary in Uganda who was killed in a wreck last week. If you'd like more background on what happened (and if you'd like to know more about the church leader, Moses Kimezi, who also died in the wreck) we've posted a story about the accident on our Web site. (Click on Adam's picture to read his final mission report.)

More posts coming. Promise.
