Hola!

Hola blogreaders,
This is my first time blogging (Phil is forcing me to write something. No, literally, he is breathing down my neck as I type this). So, today is our fourth day here in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Already we have met the Jankes, Terry and Pat and their children, and Ivan Gutierrez. Ivan, Pat and Terry are the missionaries we are going to be working with. They are lovely. Wednesday night we went over to Pat and Terry´s house for dinner and fireworks. Thursday we met some of the students from the Seminary. We taught them how to play Dutch Blitz and I learned how to count in Spanish. Friday, we got a head start on our homework for the semester and went downtown for dinner all by ourselves! It was a big deal. Today, Pat took us shopping at the grocery store to teach us how to shop in Bolivia (or for Dave and Phil who have obviously never been shopping, to teach them how to shop at all). Tonight we are planning on going to the young adult group at The First Baptist Church. And who knows what tomorrow will bring. Probably a little rain and some travelers´sickness.
