well.. I haven´t updated in a while so I thought I would do a short one anyway.
Today is my last day in Bolivia. We are in Santa Cruz, we got here yesterday and are staying at a nice hotel. Tomorrow we fly to Florida for debrief, and Thursday I fly home!
I don´t really have much more to say right now.. I´ll do a more thorough update when I get home and have lots of time.
Prayer requests:
safe travel
fellow SOSers
that God continues to do great things here in Bolivia
love!

time is flying by...
only 2.5 weeks until I´m home... how crazy is that?!
This past week I spent at a camp about 1.5 hrs outside of the city. It was quite chilly there, it felt like about 30-ish, until the sun came out, and then I would want to be in shorts and a t-shirt, and that´s not an exaggeration. My job was to stay with a caben of girls of 16-17 years old and hang out with them. I also helped to serve the meals. One night we took a hike up the mountain about an hour and spent some time worshipping up there.. it was really cool!
This week I am spending here in cochabamba with my host family. It is just a typical week of doing various activities in the morning, spanish class for an hour in the afternoon, and then spending the rest of the afternoon/evening with my host family.
Next week we´ll be in a countryside town.. I´m not positive where or what we´ll be doing, but I´m pretty sure not internet access, so I might now update again until I´m back in Florida for debrief or at home.
Prayer requests:
a good last week with my host family, and for the good-byes that will come at the end of the week.
a safe time next week in the smaller town
safe travel back to Florida (the 27th)
my sos teammates around the world.
praise that camp went well!

quick update
Wow, the time here is truly flying by for me! We´ve reached the half-way point and these next few weeks are going to fly by as well.
Quick review of what´s gone on:
- Helped with construction of a house and with the move
- Day-care
- clean/helped paint a room of a school
- VBS this week
- tore down a play house
- random odd jobs
- been to youth group, and am actually heading there soon
- been sick from the food... just once though, and nothing serious. Also caught the cold that is going around... fun stuff.
- weekly meeting with the host missionaries
..... and more to come later.
This coming week we´re heading to a camp Monday-Friday, so don´t expect any updates or anything until next weekend! :)
I am definetely enjoying my time here! I love getting to know the people and culture, and I feel very at home in the city, which is pretty good for me because I generally like the countryside better.
Thanks to everyone who is praying for me and wrote something in my sos journal, I don´t even know how many times I´ve looked at that and been encouraged!!
love!
