Home-cooked meal!

Nothing too earth shattering for this entry but we did cook a full meal this evening for the first time.  We went to a market called "Ingavi" near our house and bought fresh vegetables.  Casey and I went to the IC Norte (sort of like Walmart) and bought spaghetti.  It was a feast.  We also bought a wine that's from the Tarija region of Bolivia.  They are pretty well known for their wine.  Our bottle was a whopping $2.80.  We washed all the veggies in disinfectant and boiled water just to be on the safe side.  We even made garlic bread from home made hot dog buns that a sister brought us.

We are finally starting to settle in and things are feeling like normal.  We still don't have all the comforts we would like but we have the necessities.  The congregation has been great.  If the CO asked us to leave, it would be tough (possiblility since there is a need close by).  But we are willing to serve wherever we are needed.

We have circuit assembly this week so if anyone has suggestions on what kind of food to bring, we welcome them.  Peanut butter will cost you your first born here in Bolivia, so that's out.  We also do not own a cooler (and haven't seen one at the store).  Maybe if we walk around looking pitiful, the brothers will have mercy on us.

We miss everyone so much but thank you for your support.  Comments, Skype, and emails are really keeping us going.

Nice thing about Cocha....lots of parks
