Posted by Peter Dishman on August 12th, 2008

The first week of school is upon us here at the UNAM, after a summer of interns and trips and retreats!
Currently the new class of 35,000 is getting settled in while the other 140,000 reconnect with familiar surroundings. A few tens of thousands are at home this week, wishing they could have scored just a […]

Lots going on!

Posted by Peter Dishman on July 3rd, 2008

This past week, in addition to English Clubs and intern studies, we were at the Salvation Army Orphanage with a number of students putting on a vacation Bible school. We had about 30 kids on the first day, and about 60 kids on the last two days. It was a great time with puppets, crafts, […]

A boring blog

Posted by Peter Dishman on June 5th, 2008

I haven’t posted much lately, and what I have posted has not been that interesting! If you want something more scintillating, I suggest…
Update on visit to orphanage at Josh and Amy’s blog.
Updates on intern thoughts at Abby and Meredith’s blogs.

A busy week

Posted by Peter Dishman on May 24th, 2008

In addition to the normal activities…
Today we receive 2 summer interns for six weeks.
Tomorrow we are visiting a local orphanage after church to play/teach/craft with 60 or so kids.
This week I’ll be hosting some folks who are coming through on their way to the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico’s Church Planting Conference.
Should be fun!

Tomorrow Ruth and I will leave our pleasant lake top valley for the cold north of southern Texas. We’ll be visiting some of our supporting churches and hopefully some of you!

Up And Away

Posted by Peter Dishman on September 23rd, 2007

Today after church I’ll head to the airport and off to Atlanta for MTW’s “Interview and Orientation”, a required step to move from “short term” to “career” missionary status. There I will review all of the fun “support team” and “policy” aspects of MTW missionary life as well as be psychologized and interviewed by the […]
