Last week

We have been very busy the last two weeks here, very enjoyable, making that much harder to leave.

We re able to enjoy another day of service in the isolated territory, have a few more pictures. Next time you all see missionaries, give them a big hug and spoil them in whatever way possible before they return to their assignment. Traci and I didn't fully appreciate what they give up, what they sacrifice for Jehovah, not being able to see their family, working in at times very difficult conditions, and dealing with different cultures, we now have a special place for them in our hearts. We have really enjoyed our four months here.

Getting ready to go to Poqeura, six of us will going in this truck about an hour out of Cochabamba to preach and teach.

Some of the houses in the area

A little dusty when a car goes by, very dry and arid.

Cows laying in front of a harvest, these fields are harvested by hand.

Going to the next set of houses.

Finishing up, stopped by this lake for a picture

We will be eating Empeñadas that have been cooked in this oven

This is a very popular restaurant for eating Chicharon(fried in this pan in oil and other parts of the animal that you don't want to know what parts they are, trust me.

The finished result, Chicharon, or deep fried pork, very good and very rich.

Back in the city,these guys work for the city, use these water hoses and pump to water the grass and
flowers here in the city, The city takes very good care of their parks, and there are parks every few blocks.

Part of our cong, our spiritual family, after spending four months with these guys, its really hard to leave.
They have really taken care us, we will really miss everybody.

Back in the city again, family of four on this motorcycle, we see this all the time. No helmets.

You don't want to mess with these guys, this is the left over evidence of another demonstration.
We have never seen these guys in action, their presence during the demonstrations keep everything under control.





Just a few of the many picture we have, will have to put everything together for a gathering to show more.
