A New Semester

En Vivo has officially started its spring semester, and we could not be more excited about what lies ahead. The team spent the majority of January planning for the semester, and we think it’s going to be a good one. Our devotional lunch is starting with a series on conflict: Fighting Fair and Forgiveness are 2 of the topics. We will also be talking about finances and social issues during the semester, and ending with a series called, “Mama Always Said…”, during which we will talk about all the wisdom you have learned from Mom.

Salamanca also hosted the first ever Euroscope Team Leader Summit (as Jesse liked to call it) 2 weeks ago. Rick Harper and Perry Rubin came over from the States to meet with the TL’s and share some wisdom with them. It was a busy week of hosting for us, but it’s always great to spend time with and be encouraged by other Globalscopers.

Our other main focus over the last few weeks has been keeping the campus house dry. Every spring, En Vivo has experienced flooding from overflowing street drains. This year was the worst yet, with several of the walls become soaked and the water bursting through, causing holes. We spent a straight 24 hours mopping to keep the damage under control. The flooding finally stopped after about 48 hours, and now we are meeting with our landlord, trying to get the problem fixed once and for all. Pray that things would go smoothly and be fixed quickly. Hasta luego!
