Jon here. Blogging from Caranavi in a internet shop again. The rest of the team is looking around town in the shops. Sorry for not blogging as often as this teem usually does. There is not internet up at the place we are staying. We are up a mountain, looking down on Caranavi. We can see the place were Ben and I stayed at Paul and Jay´s. The place we are staying is a Bible School. It´s like if CLBI was in Bolivia and was cross breeded with a camp...maybe not cross breeded...that sounds...wierd.
Anyways. Paul and Jay were right! This week has been a completly different kind of experience then the past. We are living amongst the community up on the mountain. Ben and I are staying in the Guy cabin. At first it was a bit awkward because we don´t speak the language and two, we are just getting thrown into thier house. Yesterday however The team went up to the orphanage to play soccer with some of the students. There is something about sports that brings people together becasue after that we have had many conversations with the students and staff here...or at least more elongated attempts to carry one. I am not sure if Nick and Shanan Craft (hosts) even know what we are supposed to bee doing. In the mornings Annelise teaches one of their kids, and the rest of us hope that there is something that is needed to be done. There is help needed in the kitchen every day but that only fills up a bit of the time before lunch. We manage but the team would like a project or something to work on.
The bugs are thicker up in the mountains than down in the town. The whole team was getting eaten alive. We love it here but we will welcome the bugless lands of canada with open arms. I think we are all going to miss looking out in the morning to the jungle mountains of bolivia.
This week eating with the students is a little less then what we got used to at Paul and Jay´s with Jay´s L337 cooking skillz. We have food, and we aren´t copmplaning (well maybe one or two) but it is in short supply.
Well. We will be blogging from La paz next so until next time, please pray for rest for the team and for Willow because she has resorted to stealing bananas.

Banana Theif! Oh no! I hope that you guys are able to eat enough to keep you going. But I'm glad you are all getting such a cool experience. I'm praying that God uses this time that you feel like you aren't doing a whole lot in suprising ways!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you guys.
So does that mean Willow is feeling healthier or does kleptomania go hand in hand with illness in Bolivia? Nevertheless, I will continue praying for all of you.
ReplyDeleteWillow I miss you.
ReplyDeleteLove Dieta.
(And I miss all the rest of you too. Your blogs are funny. And we know how you feel just hoping that there will be something for you to do...it can be hard but just enjoy being able to relax. Soon you will be back in the craziness that we call CLBI.)
