Spokane to Colombia
Bienvenidos, family and friends, to my extremely interactive and informative blog. Tired with the Spokesman Review or NY Times? Look no farther than www.jacobgrady.blogspot.com to quench your thirst of Colombian news and engaging editorials. This will be the first of many posts to my blog, so stay tuned.
In just a short week I will be leaving Spokane to go down to San Diego to visit some close friends. After a few days I will then jump on a red-eye to Bogota, Colombia; the land of milk and honey and....coca. I am excited to go (as shown to right), yet at the same time, sad to say goodbye to family and friends.
On Monday I had lunch with a Colombian man, who spoke at Whitworth, and was reminded that I suck at spanish. It took a little while to get my mind in Spanish mode, but once it did, I was rollin....like a first grader with a serious speech impediment. Anyways, I could use some prayer for my Spanish skills.
I have tried to meet up with as many people as possible, while in Spokane. However, there are so many people I haven't been able to have much time with, but Bogota beckins (how 'bout that alliteration). I want to say thank you for all your prayers and support. I am truely blessed to know you all. Stay in touch and up to date on Colombia.
Paz,
Jacobo

Keep shinning His light.

Jacob! You are going to have NO problemos with Spanish! You did great on CASP. I will keep you in my prayers. Speaking from experience, the transition can be difficult and loneliness can set in, but just surrender your perspective to God and know that His grace is always with you!
Much love!
