Sucre Finally!

Thanks to all of you who prayed for our trip today, well actually yesterday and today.

You don´t get to Sucre in one day....

After lots of weather delays, some documentation problems that required a 10 pm cab ride to the Miami Airport´s closest CVS drugstore for Visa photos ...... and engine trouble that meant we couldn´t land in La Paz, we finally dive bombed onto the Sucre airport runway about 1 pm Saturday.

We spent the afternoon with the FH staff, learning about some of their newest strategies for strengthing HCB´s families. The core principle is that God created us to live richly, and we do that when we pattern our lives after His ways.

We could use a little of that stuff in Los Estdos Unidos as well

We also spent the afternoon eating some of the most awesome food prepared by Nut Del, the micro enterprise catering business started by 8 high school girls. It was muy ricco. You eat practically non-stop when visiting FH Bolivia.

Tomorrow the Team works with a local church, Shekina, (their pastor is named Elvis, cool huh?) and FH on a community family ministry day. Chris, Von and Tom will be teaching men how to build God´s character in their families. Audelia will be teaching the women and the rest of us will be working with the children.

Pray God´s blessing and His Kingdom come to Sucre. Many thanks for your prayers.
