Settling in and then heading to London
It's been a long time since my last update, so a lot has changed. I am still in Wichita and I recently took a job with Hospitals of Hope (www.hospitalsofhope.org), which is an organization that does medical missions to Bolivia- and some other places around the world. Officially, I am the International Missions Coordinator, but in reality I do just about everything for them- grant writing, volunteer coordination, journalism, website management, accounting, marketing, research, etc. It should be a challenging job with a lot of variety, so it is a pretty good fit (except for the fact that I work by myself much of the time). I'll deal with it though. In January I am probably going to head down to Bolivia for a couple of weeks to get a feel for the ministry. That will be a great part of the job! I am also moving into an older house in Riverside that I am going to fix up over the next year or two. It's already in pretty good shape, but there are a few changes I can make to really increase the value. I'll be living with Josh Wigdahl and one or two other guys.But before I move in, I'm heading to London for a week! That's right, Led Zeppelin awaits. For those of you who haven't heard, I was lucky enough to get tickets to the once-in-a-lifetime show (only 10,000 people out of 25 million people who registered got tickets). My friend, Phil Johnston, is coming along with me for the ride. It is going to be amazing, but right now I am in a state of shock or disbelief. It is one of those things that is so big that it just doesn't seem real to you until the moment it happens. One week until I leave...
