Just a bit...

I am still adjusting my new schedule and looking to find time to communicate home. So I thank you for your patience in my lack of response, but I think I have found a routine about it. There is not a whole bunch of new things... but Ill write a few updates. The 12th is my 3 month anniversary with Bolivia. Later in the month is my 100 day mark. And a bit later is my half way. I wrote blogs for each of these... so stay posted.

Yes, I am getting my wisdom teeth out. I was scheduled to get them out on Monday, but because of elections occurring today (Sunday the 10th) it was canceled. I do not yet know when I am rescheduled, but I will be sure to write about it before and after to keep everyone at home posted. Thank you very much for all your well wishes already.

So, the elections today. Although we are not in direct danger, we are still taking precautionary measures. Today their is an unconstitutional vote to keep or throw out the current president Evo Moralis. Many are for Evo. Many are against Evo. The only danger would be getting caught between the two. We are staying in today as suggested by our home government and sending organizations. I am staying with the Youngbloods, likely one of the safest places in the country.

This week we had a number of birthdays and even more celebrations. Its fun to see the small family we have created and the love that is amidst it all.

Praise: It's been an absolutely wonderful couple of months. I have made wonderful friends and created a fun circle of family. I have fallen in love with Bolivia and my life here.
Prayer: Peace and safety in the country during the turmoil. Also peace in my heart about a number of things I've witnessed here.

There will be an additional blog on the 12th -its a good one :)
With love and blessings for home
