In Bolivia

I am now in Bolivia. This is my second day in the city and I am now a little more acustomed to the altitude. The city is very different from any other latin american city I've visited, but it's nice. It reminds me a little of the mountain cities in Ecuador...a little more country.

For the next couple of weeks I'm living with another Samaritan's Purse employee at a teacher's apartment who is on vacation for the summer (Bolivian winter). And after that, I'll move in with two american teachers at another apartment. So for this week, I'll be in La Paz getting acquainted with the city and hopefully learning where to find what I need.

So that's the latest news at this point. I had a great time in Boone for training and met a lot of incredibly gifted interns who will be all over the world. I feel overwhelmed, and in many ways underqualified for the task ahead. Fortunately, a friend reminded me that feeling over your head is good. Why? Because it's a good reminder that whatever I do in Bolivia, God will be doing it through me and it will be coming from Him, for the Aymara.

Blessings:
* Safe travel to Boone and Bolivia
* Great hiking in Boone with old friends from Africa
* DSL in Bolivia so that I can communicate with friends and family at home :)


Pray:
* For patience as I learn the city and culture
* For God to provide friends
* For my body to adapt quickly to the food b/c I have a difficult time digesting meat (a side effect after returning from Africa)
