Work we will be doing in Bolivia...

I love this. I'm just so excited to be leaving in three sleeps! yay!!!

A question keeps coming up which I decided maybe I should address for everyone to know: now that we are going to Bolivia, what are we going to be doing??? Well!!! Let me let you know what I know at this point :)

The plan as we know it is that we will be working in a school in the mornings. We have been asked to do devotions with the students every day, teach a music class, help with teaching English and play sports with the children. We have also been asked to lead the English worship services and Josh gets the opportunity to do some preaching.

In the afternoons we will be doing something different. CBM has a program called Casa de la Amistad that we may work at. The idea is that when a parent goes to jail and no one is around to care for the children, they go with their parents to jail. Casa de la Amistad takes the children out of the prison each day and delivers a holistic ministry program--nutritious meals, games, medical and dental check-ups and spiritual guidence. Older children receive after-school tutoring and learn skills such as carpentry, baking and sewing.

There are also children who do shoe-shining to make money who we will get to work with.

I think the thing I am personally looking forward to doing is something called baby washing. Mothers from rural areas come into town once a week to wash their babies in the middle of the town. ....I just think this is the coolest idea ever!!!

So this is a little bit of what we may be doing during out time. We have been told that there are many service opportunities and are more than willing to wait and see what else God has ready for us.
