Caracas

The trip went smoothly - no surprises.  Spent 3 hours at the Houston Airport with Ricardo Diaz, a friend from Bogota days.  I have never gotten together with Ricardo that I didn't come away feeling like I had just been given a gift from the Lord.  

I arrived in Caracas at 5:30 a.m., was met by Eduardo Mercon, and was taken to the home where I will be staying for the next 2 months.  I have a small room with my own bathroom. It's actually the maid's room, but since they don't have a live-in maid it works perfectly for me, and will be a good reminder that my role as a follower of Christ is that of a servant. The family is very gracious and have gone out of their way to make me feel at home.   

The evening was spent in a home Bible study, where 5 couples are studying the Sermon on the Mount.  I'll be continuing the study with them during my time here.  Tonight will be another study in a different home.
