Bolivia is wonderful!! I love it here, especially the weather!! It feels like spring/summer at home!! I feel right at home. I am learning so much here. Bolivia is the poorest country in South America. This has really taught me what being poor means and that I am very very rich. The average bolivian´s yearly income is $100. That is crazy.
I am working at a boys home with middle school and high school aged boys from the streets. They are amazing guys, it is hard to picture them living on the streets. Most of them have gone through some crazy hard stuff. My heart breaks when I hear about how much they have been through at such a long age. They are so much fun to be around and just hang out with. They are tring to teach me how to speak spanish, which is very hard! We will be with them for about 5 weeks in total, which is most of our time here. We realy have a chance to get to know the guys and build relationshios with them.
The other 3 weeks here will be split up between helping out with some local churches and going into the jusngle to help the tribes buill wells. Right now, they don´t have any clean water, so hopefully building wells will help with that. I am really enjoying it here; the lord is really doing a lot. I really appreciate your continued prayers! I look foward to seeing everyone in less than two months!!!
