Church, School and a Party

Things are continuing to go well here in Cochabamba. Sunday morning, after returning from the youth retreat the night before, the three of us helped lead worship for the English service at the church we have been attending. As some of you may know, I have never been on a worship team before nor do I usually sing in front of large groups of people. Ivan has a funny way of getting us to do things, such as singing solos, which I will apparently be doing in the near future. It makes me laugh though because he is so nice and I have to remember that it is God we are doing this for. 

 

So far this week we have been continuing our Spanish lessons which we got to use at Paola's birthday party last night. Paola is one of the seminary students that we have become friends with. The three of us joined about eight of her friends for dinner last night. I conformed to group pressure and ordered, along with everyone else, about two pounds of the cheesiest lasagna I have ever seen. I could have fed my family with it! They didn't think I could eat but I showed them. I downed it all. Ok, that may be lie. I only ate about an 8th of it. I am no match for the Bolivians. 

 

Thursday night we are going to attend for the second time, a English bible study hosted by a lady with the thickest Scottish accent and who we have each fallen in love with. Last time she served scones and English tea. The bible study consisted of Americans, Canadians, British and of course a Scott. It has been really interesting how Bolivia has provided a little taste of many different cultures. I have to end this post here because we have some friends coming over soon. Now hopefully this post will bring in a lot of views to the site because Phil is all about that. Just kidding. However, it is true that all of you have done a great job of finding a way to encourage us and show your support all the way from Canada whether that be visiting the site or sending an e-mail. Thank-you.
