Hola amigos y familia!
So as it turns out, we were all unable to elude the infamous travelers’ sickness. For each of us it consisted of tiredness, a bit of a fever and of course…Incan’s revenge. I was sick over the weekend and Phil and Tarryn got it a little bit later. Phil is still a little sick but he’s taking antibiotics and getting better. Your prayers would be appreciated.
Besides the sickness there are a few exciting and important updates. On Sunday we attended a Spanish church service at First Baptist Church. Tarryn and I couldn’t understand much but it was fun to hear some classic worship songs in Spanish (e.g. Santo, Santo, Santo…otherwise known as Holy, Holy, Holy). We also got to meet a bunch of Bolivian Baptists and a few English speaking x-patriots. Later we went to the awards ceremony for the Bolivian Baptist Olympics, which Cochabamba won this year. It was fun. It ended with a hilarious (but unbelievably skilful) choreographed dance.
On Monday we started our Spanish lessons. Classes are 9:00-10:30 and 11:00-12:30 for Tarryn and I, and 10:30-12:00 and 12:30-2:00 for Phil. They will be five days a week for the first five weeks. So far they have been really fun.
So after studying Spanish under the hot Cochabamban sun, I’m a little tired. I think I’ll go have a siesta.
Hasta luego, (Until later)
Dave
