Trip to the Grocery Store

As you can tell, our posts are becoming less frequent--not because we don't enjoy the blog but because we have settled into a routine of service and sleeping.  Not exactly earth shattering stuff, although the preaching is very enjoyable.  Casey started a study with a lady in a small clothing store this week so we'll see how that goes.  Ricci and Traci are having nice conversations and starting studies. I am working with two guys, trying to get them into a good regular routine.  Lots of opportunities to use the Bible.

Today, Casey and I made a trip to a recently discovered grocery store.  Super clean, large selection, and good prices.  It's called HiperMaxi.  It's a little further than the one we were going to but we enjoy it more.  Not exactly Walmart but they do have quite a bit from the US.  We wanted to take more pictures but apparently it's prohibited to take pictures or even bring a camera into the store.  So the pictures I took were done discreetly with Casey blocking the view of the employees.  We're such rebels.

It never rains in Bolivia in the winter or so they told us.  So of course we got wet when this strange liquid started to fall from the heavens on our way home from the grocery--good news is that we were only 15 blocks from home.

As you can tell from the pictures, Casey and I are partial to flowering trees and plants, so you will continue to see these until we grow tired of them.

Everything else is going well....you will hopefully see a blog this week about our most important purchase yet--A BED!!!  See below for what we have been sleeping on.

Saludos from South America!!

That's right, Starbucks coffee....and only $18.50 per bag.

The Bolivians love, I mean love their bread.  Big staple.  Every bin had a different type.

Potatoes.......

Purple potatoes.......

....and even more potatoes.  In the local markets, we have seen 10-15 different types 

Jalepeno on steroids.  This will mess you up, trust us.

Bolivian security system

Our first bed, now our dresser. Very uncomfortable but big.

Casey and I share this! Lesser of two evils.
