Collins 2011 in Retrospect

Friends, Greetings from central Colombia. I'm attaching our annual Retrospect, and I hope it brings you up to date with what last year was like for us--now that we're full tilt into the new year.

For those who want to skip the news and go to pictures of the kids and grandkids, they are on the last three pages.

One of our students almost drowned yesterday, but is now doing well. She got into fast moving water at the river and panicked, and then possibly had a reaction to not enough sugar in her blood, then she hit her head and scared herself and the rest of us. I am reminded how far we are from anywhere and I ask for your prayers to sustain this whole enterprise. We do have an EMT among our faculty and we have taxi service to town, so we're not forsaken--especially when Nancy is here. Nonetheless, your prayers for daily operations as well as classes are much appreciated.

Secondly, I plan to travel this weekend to Venezuela for a week of scouting out possible sites for CLAVE-Venezuela scheduled to kick off in October of this year. There are lots of options and we will be doing a good amount of traveling over the next week. I leave on the 21st and return on the 27th. Nancy is scheduled to arrive on the 27th as well, so I will be happy to have her back again.

God's Best to you all,

Wes (for Nancy)
