Having Faces: Being Neighbor

I came to Guatemala with a Graduate Preaching Fellowship in 2004 to learn to be neighbor. I was ordained at the St. Paul Area Synod Assembly in June 2007 as a pastor of the Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala and commissioned for service by two Synods of the ELCA and the Global Mission Unit of the ELCA. I serve in Guatemala with the ILAG as a missionary and a pastor.

Advent

I leave tomorrow! Commencement, Advent, New Chapter, Odyssey... whatever you call it... it's about to begin.

Frederick Buechner has the following to say about times such as these: "The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of that moment."

Grace and Peace to you. Amanda

Hey, you're going to have a hell of a time down there. It is all about relaxing and letting the flow of things move you along.
