Please forgive me for skipping a night on the updates. The last 2 days have been especially draining. Tuesday we went back to the original Compassion Project and worked wth the children all day. They were so excited and so wound up...several staff members and translators apologized b-c they said the children were usually much better behaved but we understood (especially those of us who are teachers...any change in the daily routine makes kids crazy!! : ) We were able to go back to the home we visited on Monday and took additional clothing and shoes to the woman with 4 children. I wanted to put my Leatherman in for the husband to use for work but we decided against it since there is a knife on the tool and we didn´t want to take the chance that it would be used for something other than work. At dinner that night, a little girl who appeared to be a street child approached us and was selling flowers and candies. We are not allowed to give money to beggars, but we bought many flowers, candies,and mints from her, hopefully enough to feed her family for a few days.
Yesterday was Compassion Day and there is A LOT to report from that; however, we are loading the bus to head out to yet another project and I will have to fill you in tonight after we fly back to La Paz. until then, please pray for us and especially for the people of Bolivia. There are so many good, faithful people here who face so many challenges. Tonight i´ll tell you about Noli, one of the translators, the LDP students, and the teacher I had the opportunity to chat with. Dios te Bendiga! Hug your family tight and tell them you love them!
