Hello my friends

Hello, sorry it has been so long since my last posting. Things have been a little busy with classes, meetings etc. but things will slow down over the weekend. Many thanks for all your prayers and email during these days away. It makes home seem a little closer and Bolviia not seem so far away. Things are going well, it seems hard to believe that I have been here for 6 weeks already. Classes are going well and I am getting a bit more confident in using Spanish. Please continue to keep Bolivia in your prayers. We are presently at a respite in terms of the conflect as both sides are in negotiations are reportedly going well, but one can never tell in Bolivia. I am still feeling very safe - any problems that there are take place in other parts of the country. Thanks again for visiting the blog - it seems like a great way to keep in touch with many people at once!
