We're back!

We’re back! Sorry Pam, Lisa, and Denise- we were in the jungle the last two days and out of touch. No worries, everyone is safe, healthy, and doing well. Whoever has been praying about our health- please keep it up! No major issues at all! It actually seems a little miraculous!

As I mentioned, we were in the Chapare jungle the last two days. There are three orphanages there, two of which are still in the construction phase. The third is in Evo’s hometown- the current president of Bolivia. It is about a 5 or 6 hour bus ride to the Chapare region. There is a mountain that we cross where the climate completely changes from dry, arid, and desert like to lush, green, and jungle literally in the distance of a few miles. We drive from hot and humid jungle climate back to Cochabamba’s dry, cool climate in a short distance.

Our main project was to do some light construction project on one of the orphanages in construction. We varnished all of the interior walls and installed netting on the windows to keep bugs out.

Also while we were in the Chapare, we delivered some radio parts that John Bisset had obtained that will be used to support a Christian radio station that is broadcast from a local church to the surrounding communities.

On our way out, we spent an hour at a monkey reservation where monkeys live, and interact with visitors…

Thank you all for your prayers!
