3 hours ahead

So, have you ever lived 3 hours ahead of where you used to live? It's not very easy to get a hold of people because what is a good time for you, isn't so good for others and vice versa! I wonder what the weather is like in MN and ND? Anyone???

Today we sent out 54 letters to students all over Brazil accepting them to the Recife summer project. There is one guy who isn't going to be able to be accepted due to some moral issues. There are 2 others guys I still need to talk to about moral areas in their life over the past 12 months. One of them I can't get a hold of, so that makes it even more complicated.

in other news, I up-dated the website, so that feels good to try tp keep you all in touch with what is going on.

in other, other news, I have been thinking non stop about New York, NY and Washington D.C. I would really like to live in both of those cities for a little bit of time. I also think it would be great to spend some time in the White House and see how things work around there. I bet you all didn't know that about me!

God bless you all,
Scotty

Men vs Women and Project Recife

Why is it that men and women are so different? How can it be? How can it remain so true even through cultural barriers?

INCREDIBLE!

In other news, we are printing off 55 letters (5 pages each letter) to send to students who have been approved by Ester, Adriana (another teammate) and myself to go on a summer project in Recife, Brazil. This project is going to be HUGE, both in terms of high expectations to hear from the Lord and see him at work and in terms of the number of people who are going. We are expecting around 80 people to spend a month in close contact with one another and having a schedule busy from 8 am to 11pm every day except for Sunday. It will be a great opportunity to walk closely with Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

ALSO, I have been looking for a place to house the 80+ people expected (55 students and 25 Campus Crusade staff) and that has been no easy task. Imagine trying to find housing that is adaquate in the following areas: Enough showers, toilets, a big enough kitchen to cook for 80, a place to relax, sleep, and enough rooms to have our meetings. Only Jesus can!

That's it for now.
