Hello All,
Greetings from Nueva Vera Cruz.
I just returned to the Center House in Cochabamba for my day off after a long week in the barrio. I will usually be off Sunday afternoon into Monday. It is a nice break and allows me some time to think and pray after my experiences of the week.
All is going well and I am getting a better sense of the barrio and the lives of the people there. I had mass up the mountain at the barrios of La Rivera and El Costa Nera. I will now be going up every Saturday night as we begin to establish our ministry and presence there.
I am getting a bit more confident in the language as I am able to communicate a bit more easily with the people I am serving.
On the 20th I will be going up to Florida to visit my brother and sister-in-law. It will be a nice time away and good to connect with my family once again.
Again thank you all for your prayers and support for my time here.
