Life in Bolivia thus far

Well, I'm here. I arrived on Wednesday morning without my luggage and spent the day with a friend (my luggage did arrive yesterday though). I'm staying with another American missionary in Santa Cruz who's wife has gone back to the States for a week. It's nice staying with him, a little bit more quiet than the house where my friend lives with his whole family (6 people in all). I've been going over there for lunch each day and then my friend has helped me to take care of the stuff I need to do while I'm here.

The night after I got here a sur (cold front) came, so it was pretty cold for Bolivia yesterday (60's) and overcast with some rain. It helped me to sleep well, I slept 12 hours the first night I was here since I was exhausted from my overnight travels. That weather continues today and will stay that way until Sunday according to the local forecast. Trinidad will probably be cooler as well, which will help in adjusting to the heat.

I've been cleaning out the cobwebs on my Spanish, it was pretty rusty when I got here, but it's coming back. Fortunately my Bolivian friend speaks pretty good English, so we've had no problems communicating.

I'm flying up to Trinidad early on Sunday morning, I'll make it in time for church there. That about all to report for now. Blessings to you all!
