Hola, mis amigos!

I haven't updated in a long time. This has been due to my diligence in blogging (yes, duh). But a few reasons as to why. First, I haven't had a significant amount of time to figure out a more quicker and easier way of posting things onto here. This solution will come this summer, when I will be able to devote more time to posting and less time on how it all looks. Secondly, I've been wanting to change the vision of this blog for a while. Life at Bible College has been the most amazing experience of my life, but I didn't want this blog to be about just that. So in the coming months, I'll be blogging more from a missions focus.
This fall, if accepted, I'll be attending CCBC Okinawa, Japan, for my third semester. Their campus is heavily missions-based, so you'll be seeing more postings about life on the mission field, tied in with life at Bible College.
I've posted a few video slideshows I made of some short term missions trips I went on to Mexico this past semester. Never in my life have I seen the Lord's work in other countries until I went on these trips. The trips made me come back wanting live out Colossians 4:17, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it."
