I had the wonderful privilege to make a trip to Armenia, Colombia for the month of December (2012). I worked at a medical missionary training school in the mountains of Armenia called Fundacion Las Delicias. I was visiting to see if it was a good internship site. It was wonderfully successful in that respect. After working with the people personally I was able to obtain a clearer conception of their needs than all the books I could have read about them in the States. I have been studying for the last four years preparing for missionary work and I was wonderfully thankful and happy to see that I may be of genuine practical use and help there as a Bible teacher. It's wonderful to be useful. It's a wonderful thing to discover a place where your skills have the potential for the greatest exercise and development. In ministry, development is proportionate to the extent one is involved in personal work--working with individuals for the Master. I learned many wonderful, wonderful lessons there. I came to understand the purpose of grace to perfect God's character of love within us much much better. Something wondrous happened as I prayerfully, cheerfully worked alongside my family there. Thoughts I had never pondered before entered my mind and heart. I knew that such gems of wisdom were not of my own fashioning but were the special gifts of Him who is "the light of men," (John 1:4). "Every gleam of thought, every flash of the intellect, is from the Light of the world." (Education, 14). I wrote them down and I will share them here. "
