See ya later Coloradians.

There have been four interns here from Boulder, Colorado for the last two months. Hallie, Lauren, Adam, and Sage. They leave this Friday from Cochabamba and from Bolivia on Saturday.

Not only do I ask for prayer for their travels. And prayer for their transition back into home, but I also want to express my gratitude. Having them here has been absolutely amazing. They are fun, energetic, and so eager to work --it is incredible. Each of the four has a wonderful personality that seems to only build onto others.

I understand that having people come and go is part of this whole deal, but having them leave is still untimely. I thank each of you very much for brining home to Bolivia and for bringing Bolivia to home. Your work and wonderful spiritual gifts have been a blessing to me, our ministry, and to Bolivia as a whole.

I hope to see you soon.

On the opposite note, we have three new arrivals this week. Jen, who I met at training, arrives on Wednesday from Chicago. Jen will be here for an entire year. Jeff, Matt Johnson’s brother, also arrives on Wednesday to visit with Matt and Elsa along with help support our ministries. Jeff will be here until the end of August. And last, but certainly not least, Rachel, Kristen’s sister arrives Saturday. Kristen is almost at her six month mark and is very much looking forward to having one of her sisters here for two and a half weeks.

I pray that everyone has safe travels and smooth transitions whether the transition is from this home or to the home in the states.

Its going to be another airport filled week. J
