Take that death road! You have not claimed the lives of Team Bolivia this time!! It was actually a pretty good ride. as we got higher into the mountains it was getting dark and we were driving in the clouds. We could barely see the road! It took about 4 and a half hours but we made it all safe and sound.
Today we are roaming La Paz with Nick to do some sight seeinging and maybe a few purchaces. Today is our last full day in Bolivia. We are going to miss it here. It is the perfect temperature. But although we will miss the country and it´s people, we are excited to see our classmates, friends, and families back at home.
So ya...just wanted to let all you guys know we survived the death road for the second time. Woo!

Just a quick blog
Here at the internet cafe again. Just had the best icecream ever at a fancy ice cream parlor. There are pictures. Going to La paz tomorrow. After this internet time we are hitting the pool with some lil amigos. Should be a grand old time. We already know we are going to miss it here. It is so homey and friendly and we all love walking the beautiful streets of caranavi. Doing God´s work in a tropical paradise. Ah Yea. This place is so stress free. Even Nick, our host, said to us "This is going to take a long time, not that we´re in a rush, this is Latin America." I love it here, as does the rest of the team. Ben: Yep... Well, here we come road of Death, eat our dust...tomorrow. Talk to you readers later.

Uptown blog
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.

So we are basically at the halfway point of the trip. And we´ve done a lot in the time we have been here. We have painted a youth center with walls that are 30 ft tall, and a puppet stage as well. We cleaned and moved stuff around. We have picked rocks on a airstrip and got nice and crispy from the sun. And now it seems that our time is almost done with RTC and we will be going to the Krafts place for the rest of the trip.
Its hard to believe we are really here and all the time we make the comment: ¿where are we? and the answer is: ¿I dunno, Bolivia or sumthin´? it happens quite often...
the other day when we were heading out to the airstrip, which is about a half hour away, we were driving through caranavi on market day. So the town was very busy and there were people flooding the streets and there was the smell of raw meat... we were riding in the back of the truck so our hair could blow, when all of a sudden some guy looks at me, and slaps me in the arm, and says: HI... ¡GOOD Morning! in a bad accent.
Yep... that was the story of the day. That or our nice sunburns. OR, some Bolivians laughing at Jon when he took his shirt off... but he didn´t burn as bad as me, probably from the reflection off his body I burned worse.
Prayer Requests:
Energy for the team,
Health,
Continued blessing for radio television caranavi,
Paul and Jay for hosting us.
Thanks for reading

Some pictures of beautiful Bolivia
Here are a few scenery pics. The waterfall is on the Road of Death, the house is were Ben and Jon are sleeping, the town is Caranavi, and the picture of the team is on the highest spot of the Road of Death. (For parents that are like "Oh my goodness my baby is going to have to drive on the Road of Death on the way back!!" Don't worry, going up we are on the inside lane and have the right of way. We will be even safer going up then going down.
Willow is very sick today. Please pray for her to get better.

How things go.
Jon here,
I love the culture here. There is a time for work and a time for rest. But different for the "resting from work" lifestyle back home that I was used to, here there seems to be a "working from rest" mentality. Life is taken a lot slower here and it is easy to see all the way God has provided for for Paul and Jay Mikaelson. Realationships between people and curtousy manners are taken very strongly here. There was a certain kind of handshake that Jay taught us so that we could be properly greeted at the church we were going to. We are to greet everyone. Even people on the street that we are just passing. And when we do that, we just can't say hello. We try to hold a conversation with a complete stranger while trying to break the language barrier. IT'S AWESOME!
People here love to eat. They also like to savour it. They eat very slowly. Jay is an amazing cook and she makes every thing from scratch since there are no canned goods in Caranavi. Fresh mangos, papaias, bananas (while we were eating we ran out and someone just went outside and grabbed some more right off the tree!). It is so good. Yesterday we went to Pauls airstrip and had steak and cheese rice (chunks of fresh bolivian cheese mixed in [Elise! You would love it!]). Almost every day Ben Rude looks at me and states "We are eating like kings." So you can ease your mind Ben's mom, he is not that picky. I am always so amazed at the many food bearing tree there are around here. Coconuts (we found 2 today), tangerines, banana, papaia, mango, chocolate(!!!), coffee(!!!!), the list goes on (or maybe thats it. Regardless the list will end). God has blessed this land and has given so much to Paul and Jay and they are wonderful stewards of it. They give so much.
We have finished painting the youth center and will now move on to Paul's airstrip tommorrow to pick rock as to avoid having his plane run into them. We work from about 9:00am-12:00pm then from 2:00pm-6:00pm on average, but there are always opportunities to serve throughout the day.
It's hot. Y'know FYI. My goodness. It cools down a bit at night, and I love when it's about to rain since it then cools off from a while. Nights are sticky but very relaxing. Almost every night Ben and I have had a battle with at least one giant (in our eyes) bug that had crawled under the door or had flown in when the door was open. Of course I was the heroic one and flexed my muscles to scare them off or used my huge brain to outsmart and overcome the pesky bugs while Ben was hiding in his room....ok ok we were both screaming like little girls "Get it!" "No YOU!" "It's there! It crawled under the BED!!" We have been getting better and I think that by the time this trip is over we will have conquered our fears of creepy crawlies.
I keep trying to upload pictures but the internet has turned out to not like me and will not let me successfull put them up. I'll keep trying though!
Willow Thompson has not been feeling to good with her headaches being a constant pain but she is a trooper. Ben got bit by an unknown bug on one of the first days here and it has not stopped hurting. I am allergic to somthing in the air that has come in the past 2 days and I have been sneazing like the dickens. Annelise, our fearless leader is just peachy, and if she isn't she is doing a great job of hiding it. I am just mentioning these things as suggestion for what you could pray for us. Continue to pray for guidence and wisdom and protection over us. Thank you.
Well, that's a few things that I have noticed throughout the trip. I still can't believe we are here. Every morning I look out to the jungle mountains and breath in the air, admire God's artistic skill, and sigh at how could I be see this right now.
Thanks for your time guys.
Peace out

bloggin, drippin, walkin, laughin,sniffin, trippin
And now a message from Willow Thompson:
¡Hola mi banditos! Como estes dos muchachas! Willow here! We´re in the little town, but it´s still like bein in the jungle! We´re not goin outside the town because it´s like a JUNGLE out there! But we be livin in the jungle, so we´ll have to venture there eventually. Meanwhile, we´re venturing around Caranavi, where, we´ve made a new friend. A fun little elderly man greeted us, then asked if we were married (we think). Alas, we are just 4 amigos, and told him such. He gestured toward Benchacho and Jonzalos and said, ¨Ah, bonito! Bonito!¨ He was telling Annelise that us chicitas (girls) had some very fine looking- handsome husbands. No, no, we are just amigos. We be bloggin from ¨Dumbonet¨ yes you guessed it, an internet cafe without the coffee with Dumbo as the mascot.
Today, which is Saturday, is a half day of worko! Our youth center is almost el finito, with a solid blanco back wall as in the back wall is white. The side walls are a beautiful deep blue, with a sunset peach for the back. Ah! As I was painting on the balcony, it started to rain, and oh it was glorious! The rain is so warm and fresh and awesome.
We had a traditional Boliviano meal for lunch... pollo- chicken, big white corns that taste like rice, and mini black potatoes and fried banana. Tonight our teamo es cookin suppa.
A little girl named Laia lives with us, and her sister Anna comes everyday with Jenny, who helps with cooking. Laia is 12 and and Anna is 9 and they are very beautiful. Anna likes to smile alot.
So, pretty much I´m getting voted off the computer island right now, by my fellow shipmates, wh--
Ben here... buenos nochez Weelo!
oh man... I think the paint has finally gotten to her. Anways, I´m gonna say goodbye for her because you probably would not understand. so.... goodbye until next time.

Paintin'
Hello all! We've had a great time here so far in Caranavi! The weather has been absolutely beautiful and we wouldn't want to ask it to be any hotter! Sweating an ocean while sitting is not something that any of us really enjoy...but being surrounded by tropical rainforrest is a blessing in itself! PRAISE GOD!
As far as what we're doing here...none of you have to worry cause for the most part we're all staying away from eating anything that is still alive or consisting of monkey! Just kidding! We have been painting the new youth center that has been added on to the radio/tv building. Yesterday we painted nothing but the most wonderful color WHITE...if you call that a color?! And isn't it funny; but while painting it reminded me of snow!....Hmmmm haven't seen that for a while and to be honest I don't think any of us really miss it! Today we got to switch it up a little and paint with blue! And I know you're all probably thinking that this is easy work but let me tell you...YOU'RE WRONG! The walls are really high and made out of concrete so it soaks up the paint like a sponge! Not to mention IT'S REALLY HOT HERE! (we like to joke and say that after painting we're all so sweaty it's like we played a basketball game! but not really) The work is coming along great and we're all enjoying our stay...definately no complaints!
Today wasn't the most happy day for one of our beloved team members. Willow wasn't feeling quite strong enough to work today so we gave her the day off! Told her to stay at the house and rest so that she could regain her strength! But the other three of us really missed her awsome and sometimes random comments while working (but i will admit that when that paint fumes get to ones head, everyone's destined to go a little loopy before the day is over!!) And today was not a molecule short of being very POTENT! We've all been in good health since arriving but I ask that you continue to pray for us south of the equator!
On Sunday Paul and Jay are gonna take us to a traditional church service here in Caranavi and Paul will be bringing the message! I'm excited to listen to all the spanish even though I won't understand any of it! Afterwards we're heading out to Paul's airstrip for a bbq and we might even get to ride in his plane...AWESOME!
Thank you for all your support and prayers and please keep us in your thoughts!
God Bless
ps-the coffee here doesn't have caffine!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Actually did you know that coffee in it's pure form doesn't have caffine in it at all...it's added afterwards!

In Caranavi
Just wanted to tell everyone that we made it down the road to Caranavi. It is much lower here, and a lot more humid and hot. The altitude isn't affecting us as much down here. We are all set up and tomorrow we will be getting shown around the radio television add on that we are helping to paint. We are all still very tired from the trip down here and we are al looking for another night of sleep.
The trip down Camino de Muerte was very fun and frightening. The cliffs were steep and we needed to be on the ouside of the road since were were traveling down it. People drive fast and crazy down here but somehow it all works. We only saw one accident that happened moments before we got there. A bus crashed with a taxi. The drive down took about 4 hours of constant twisting and turning in the road, fast braking, and huge bumps everywere. The farther we got down the mountain, the more lush the landscape was. It was a treacherous but beautiful ride. Too bad we couldn't see anything because those pesky mountains were in the way. Just kidding. There were waterfalls everywere and we saw rivers in the valley below. Thank you for every one who has been praying for us while we have been on this trip. It was God keeping us safe on the road down to Caranavi.
It is so amazing here that we sometimes we catch ourselves wondering if this is actually happening.
"Hey guys, were are we? Are we in like...Bolivia or something?"
Our hosts prepared us pancakes for supper today with home made syrup. They were amazing as. Along with that we had a cup of coffee that was with out the best cup of coffee we have ever tasted. We are told that Bolivia has won the award for best coffee in the world for a few years now, and from what we have tasted, we believe them.
Thank you again for all your prayers. If anyone would like to comment on this blog we would love to here from you guys. Just set up and account with blogger and comment away!
Until next time, keep praying for us and the other IMPACT Teams that are in Mongolia, India, and Kenya.
Peace Out

We Made It
I am typing from a hotel in La Paz, Bolivia. After a looooong venture through 2 countries, and almost missing our first two flights we arrived in La Paz around 3:00pm Alberta time. While arriving, our team thought of the video talking about how the atmosphere of the altitute would be like getting punched in the gut. Well, it wasn´t that bad, but our team defiatly were very light headed all yesterday. We kept physical activity to a minimum as suggested as to not pass out. Today, after adusting to the altitude, are feeling better and we are all very apreciatinve of a bed after sleeping on airport benches for a day and a bit. We are going to be going down to Caranavi today and spend half of our trip with Jay and Paul Michealson (Our hosts) constructing a youth Center.
Our trip is divided up into 2 halves. First off is the construction, the the later half is working at an orphanage and helping out the Crafts in thier work. Bolivia is amazing and its about 16 degrees celcius out and a bit overcast. I hope to update this blog soon. Out hosts say we can use their internet but Bolivian internet leaves somthing to be desired.
Also I am sorry for any spelling mistakes, Please forgive me. If you saw the keybord im typing on...my goodess. The letters are on tape...lets just say that. Anyway just letting everyone know we´re alive!!
Peace Out

Soon To Leave
Well, the time has almost come for team Bolivia to hit the road to another country. Because of some recent events we need to limit our carry on baggage, but that should not be too big of a problem. We will be leaving for the Edmonton airport on January 4th at 3:40 am. My goodness that is early. Not that team Bolivia will be able to sleep that night anyway.
I have rarely felt this anxious, nervous, and excited before. But when I think of how many people are praying for all the teams going out this next week, it puts my mind at ease. Thank you for all those who have supported us both financially and prayerfully.
The next entry should be from Bolivia!
Peace Out
