Yup. This weekend is Mother´s Day here in Bolivia and it´s almost as big as Christmas! lol...we´ve now been to ... uh...at least three Mother´s day celebrations which are the coolest! HAPPY MOTHER´S DAY MOMMY BOVEN, WILSON, HAMILTON, HUTT and PHILIP :)
So sorry about not updating this for the past week! Man..time gets away before you know it. Our week was pretty packed between going to school every morning; monday and tuesday afternoon we spent at La Casa De Amistad (a school for kids who´s parents are in jail...one of the most heartbreaking things i´ve ever had to do was walk tiny kids back to jail after school was done to go back to their mom or dad for the night....); monday evening we played horrible volleyball with the church league; tuesday evening we had a surprise good bye party for Ivan who left for Canada; wednesday we were at school in the morning, painted at the seminary, and went to the Mother´s Day service at the church; thursday we were at school for the morning, painting at the seminary at night; friday at school we spent the morning gettting ready for the Mother´s Day celebration at night, left to go painting at the seminary, and then back to the school for the celebration. It was so wonderful to see the kids we´ve been working with in a different light and meet their parents and stuff...
and today we took some time this morning to practice worship for tomorrow (we are leading it for the english service in the morning) and then went to Jireh for their Mother´s day celebration and then to babywashing in the center square, and tonight to the church for a youth meeting.
So yeah...that´s pretty much it in a nutshell...our last three days are pretty full, and just so you know, we are actually leaving cochabamba earlier wednesday to make sure we get our connecting flight to Miami. So we´re leaving around noonish and will have to spend the day in the Santa Cruz airport waiting for our overnight flight.
Oh yeah...and one more thing. we are now sleeping in a hostel across the road. The place we´ve been (the Baptist Center) had been rented out before we got switched to coming here, so we had to move. It´s all good!! and we have seperate rooms..none of this all one room stuff...no worries :)
Love you all dearly! Have a wonderful day tomorrow!
Love from your buddies over here :)

My oh my you certainly have busy hands and feet! My heart breaks as a read of your escorting the kids back to jail after school. But God has sent you to help look after them. I know he is blessing your efforts whether it be for painting, leading worship, working with the kids or washing babies. We pray for your continued good health and will add "safe travel" to those prayers. We love you all!
Wow! What a packed week! Happy to know you are working so hard in God's kingdom, and that you are well. May all you've done be a blessing to those you've worked for, and may you all be blessed by the experience, too. Praying for safe travels on the way home.
God bless!
