Feliz Dia de las Madres!

Happy Bolivian Mother's Day! May God bless and keep all of the wonderful mothers in Bolivia that I know. And may all the children without mothers, or with bad mothers, know and find peace in the fact that He is more than sufficient.

The Count Down!

I head back to Bolivia in exactly 2 weeks! I am so anxious to see the boys again and all of my dear Bolivian friends. I’m excited to worship in the church and get to know the teams. I can’t wait for the children’s evangelism in the villages, the hard work, the lack of sleep, and the giant bonfires. The endless mountains of rice at every meal…well, I can hold off a little longer on that one!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother’s Day!! And a special thanks to all the women who have become Aunts, Sisters, Friends, Moms, and godmothers to our boys in Bolivia. They need you so much!

So I like the zoo!

I’ve had an amazing friend visiting the last few days. We pulled out all the stops and cooked up some crazy good food! We did a little running too, but probably not enough to actually balance back out :) We also went to the zoo. Because zoos are just fun places. Unfortunately, my camera died halfway through, so that’s got to be sent in to the shop now. But we did see a beautiful sunrise at the beach!

I love living here!

What is it about smooth sand that makes us want to write our names in it?

Friends really are daily blessings. I'm so grateful for them!

Thanks!

Sometimes God makes it so clear that He really does love me A LOT. I really appreciate that!!

Disguised Blessing

A great friend of mine is about to depart on a mission trip with another organization for 11 months. Last night was her final big fundraiser which included a silent auction. Thanks to God CIN has had some amazing volunteers and I was given good instruction by them when we did our own silent auction. Because of this, I was able to take a big portion of that load off of my friend so that she could focus on other parts of the evening. And I love being helpful, especially to good friends! It was a long and busy night, but very successful for her!
