Loving Bolivia!

Hello Everyone. Yeah, our second post. Things are going so awesome here in Bolivia. This past weekend we went to a small town called Teoponte. About a 3 hour drive away from Caranavi. Nick Kraft, one of the missionaries took us there. We basically played with children the entire time. Sang some songs and played water games. They just love Bailey, who everyone thinks looks like Shakira. Pretty funny. We stayed at the churh there, it was so much fun. So it has been so so hot here. Like 42 degress most days. It rains lots too buts its still hot. There are so many bugs, big ones too. I dont like bugs, but we are getting use to them. We been here for more than a week now. It seems so fast and yet slow. Weird how that works. The people are beautiful. One night we went to the plaza in Caranavi and just sat singing songs and giving balloons to the children. They all white people gringos here. We attracted quite the crowd. Well thats all for now. Thanks for praying.

Thanks Allison and Melissa for the updates.

My son did not like the bugs either when he and I were in Caranavi 11 years ago. He loved the hot weather though. Paul and Jay took great care of us too! Do they still have their ocelot (mini tiger)?

Thanks for doing a great job. I am looking forward to seeing your photos from Paul’s plane. Are you having any more vivid dreams from the Larium Melissa?

We are praying for all of you in the first year Intro to Miss class, asking the Lord to give you good health, strength and wisdom. Remember, keep you eyes open for those we may be able to invite here some day.

Blessings!

Rob
