Dios equipa al que Él llama para servicio. Me ha preparado para vivir en otros países, con gente diferente. Algo he podido entender de la vida de ellos, de su forma de pensar. Mucho me ha ayudado el enterarme de la historia, política y cultura de ellos. Algunas películas latinoamericanas he visto, seguramente.

Aquí estoy en Laponia, comiendo arándanos helados y esperando el invierno. Sé que muchas cosas sobre mi tierra y gente voy a aprender aquí. Pero Dios lo hace aún mejor - hoy me hallé estudiando historia y educación cívica de Finlandia. Es parte de nuestra carrera, veo. Y ahora, después de tantos años, no me aburre. Al contrario, me encanta. Ya estoy con ganas de meterme en el Youtube y buscar por viejas canciones finlandesas.
Él no me hace cambiar en otra persona. Me hace enterar de lo que realmente soy.
A ti también lo hará.


Somebody said I have to know my country first and only after that stay in other culture. I've not lived like that - while in the school, I wasn't at all interested either in history or in social studies. Neither have I seen many Finnish movies. How should the Finnish life be defined? What are we thinking and why?
God prepares the one He calls to serve Him. He has been making me ready to live in other countries, with different kind of people. I've understood something about their life and way of thinking. I've studied their history, politics and culture. That has helped me a lot. Also have I seen some Latin American movies.

Here I am in Lapland, eating icy lingonberries and waiting for the winter. I know I'll learn here many things about my country and people. But God does it even better - today I found myself reading about Finland's history and social studies. That's a part of our learning programme! Now, after so many years, it isn't boring at all. Actually, I love it. I'm already willing to search in Youtube for some old Finnish songs.
He doesn't make a different person out of me. He makes me understand who I really am.
He will do it with you as well.
