Greetings from the Bolivian Riviera

Hello All,
I hope this finds you all enjoying the Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Here in the South we are enjoying Spring. My first experience of 2 springs in one year.
Last night we traveled to another barrio covered by the chapel in Nueva Vera Cruz. It is about 1o minutes farther up the mountain past San Andres. It is a new barrio started by recent immigrants called La Riviera. I always wanted to visit the Riviera and now I have my chance. It seems like a nice community and I trust that I will enjoy working there if I am ultimately assigned to this area.
Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I continue with langauge school. It is challenging but I am doing my best. My love to all.
