Home Sweet Home!

I’ve made it to Bolivia! Unfortunately, only I have made it. We aren’t sure where my suitcase is.
Mau picked me up at the airport and we talked a little about our families and about the other people visiting the BLC on the way home. When I arrived at the BLC, the boys were all in class and I didn’t want to interrupt everything for just me to say hi, so I went on up to the apartment. I got to meet Luke, who has been here for nearly 2 weeks and talk with him a while. Seems like a great guy. We talked about him bringing a team or coming back to host. Once you have been here, it is very hard to stay away!!

I headed downstairs a little before lunch time so that I could see all the kids as they switched tutoring and school. It was so good to see them! I told them all that I was going to stay for a long time without having a team, so I would have plenty of time to bug them! They tried not to let it show, but I think they are nearly as pleased as I am that I will have so much time to spend on them now.

Once all of the boys were back in class, I retreated to the apartment for a little rest. I figured I would just hang out, as I have never taken a nap my first day (I’ve never had the time!) and I have the blessed ability to sleep the entire time I am on a plane. But apparently that wasn’t enough. I woke up three hours later as the boys were finishing their dinner! I hurried downstairs to chat with them as they washed their clothes. We talked until 9:30, when I finally told them good night and returned to the apartment to make dinner.

Now they are all getting ready for bed and the apartment is so quiet. Teams, I miss you! If I am lucky enough to have my suitcase arrive tomorrow, I will head into town for that and probably do a little grocery shopping along the way. Otherwise, work starts in the morning!
