Well, here we are, finally in Cochabamba, Bolivia. It is absolutely GORGEOUS here. We expected Bolivia to be cold and... well, that's about all we knew about it. It's actually sunny and warm and there are trees! (Peru was cloudy, chilly, and well, desert.) So refreshing! We're working with an awesome newlywed couple here, working in local orphanages and bathing the poor children in the town square (sounds weird, but cool. i'm sure i'll have an update!) Anyway, this month is looking AWESOME. For now, here are some pictures from our awesome road trip across South America. It was great, even with what I wrote in my last blog :)


 



The beautiful Peruvian sunset.


 



Sunset again, on the Panamerican highway.

 



The floating islands we went to in Lake Titicaca.


 



They dressed us up in indiginous outfits, quite hilarious.


 



The girls... My hat's kinda awesome.


 



How our bus crossed Lake Titicaca... yeah.......


 



Lake Titicaca from the Bolivian side, right around Copacabana.


 



Welcome to Bolivia :)


 


We start ministry tomorrow, and we're SO excited about it. Be praying for our squad as well. One of the girls had her daypack stolen, with her computer, passport, camera, ipod, money, and everything else stolen. (We've had a lot of robberies on the race so far.) She's perfectly safe though, praise the Lord! Also, we found out we are going to ALBANIA (next to Greece) and ROMANIA for our European countries. We are the first World Race squad to go to Albania, and we're so so excited! Both countries are going to be FREEZING. We have our first Squad Debrief at the end of Bolivia, where we as a squad get together for about 3 days to pray, worship, process what we've experienced on this continent, etc. It's hard to explain World Race Culture, so I'll blog about it then :) Then we fly on October 12th to Miami, then to NYC, and then over to Europe. Should be an adventure! Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks for reading :)


 



P.S. This scene from Harry Potter accurately describes South American bus rides.
