Hi Lauren! I can’t believe you went to Potter’s House too. Isn’t it an amazing ministry? I was floored by the day-in/day-out work they do. I’d love to go back and partner with them more. I’d also love to listen to what you learned about the Guatemalan culture and the things they’ve been through. What an awesome class!

I’m so proud of all you’re doing. I actually thought of you often while I was in Guatemala because we housed with about 20 World Race Gap Year kids, and their enthusiasm for world missions and peoples around the world were so reflective of your heart. I do hope we can catch up together soon. Love you!

I understand, Barbara. Jeff’s not as excited about going as I am either. 🙂 But the way I’ve always seen it, truth is truth no matter who says it. So I’ll take the good and throw out the bad. He has many teachings that do coincide with what Jesus taught about being compassionate and loving our neighbors.

I may have to give Jeff some wine after it’s over. And he doesn’t drink it either. ha. But he’s a good sport to go along with me so I appreciate him for that.

I really appreciated the posts about women’s blogs by Challies as well.

I’m afraid I am one who doesn’t get the excitement about the Dalia Lama, no offense. 🙂 I see him as a false prophet, which to me offsets whatever good things he might say.

I’m glad you understand my excitement about seeing the Dalai Lama! Not everyone does. 🙂 Thanks, Cara.

I could relate to a lot of that too, even in my own season of life. I appreciated that he shared the female point of view.
