In other news, we found out a couple of weeks ago that we were accepted to go to Bolivia for a medical missons trip. I actually found the organization, Hospitals of Hope, through the web and it seems like it will be a good fit for us as our first mission trip. We were praying that we would be able to find somewhere to go since we had been planning to go to Nigeria but because it is on the National Watch List we are unable to go and God answered our prayers.
We will be at a hospital that the organization just built outside of the town of Cochabamba, Bolivia (in between La Paz and Santa Cruz). There is a guest house behind the hospital that we will stay in. We are not going with a group but there will be some other missionaries there at the same time. Brandon is hoping to help out in the hospital wherever needed and I am hoping that my Spanish comes back to me quickly enough to be able to interpret! We are both very much looking forward to this trip...we already got all of our vaccinations and bought our plane tickets last week! If you think of it, please start praying for the country and for the people we will come into contact that they might have an openness to the gospel.

Congrats on going to Bolivia! When do you leave?
Good morning! My right arm is still sore from that bouncing game. :) Thanks for hanging out with us last night - we had so much fun catching up with you guys. :) And we are excited about your upcoming trip to Bolivia!
Good for you guys! That is so wonderful that you will both be able to use your skills to help out the people of Bolivia. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to take what you know and help others, make their lives better. Dont worry, you will be amazed how quickly your language skills come back when you are immersed in it! It's like riding a bike. Good luck and enjoy your time there~that is, when you go!
I'm so jealous about your tri to Bolivia! When is it?
Kristen, Bolivia! This is so exciting. You and Brandon will do great work there and I can't wait to hear about the people you serve.
How exciting about your Bolivia Medical Mission trip! That is great that you guys are doing that. When do you go?
It sounds as though it will be an interesting trip with opportunities for both of you to use your talents. We will join you in asking for God's blessing and guidance.

Yaaaay!!! How exciting - Bolivia! I must send you copies of my Spanish for Nursing CDs so that you can get ready and Brandon can learn some helpful words!!! It will be such a great experience for you both!
