Bus strike or no bus strike FH git's er done! The buses aren't running in Sucre so we took taxi's and a truck. Riding in the back of the truck was mucho fun. Yesterday was the easiest day of this trip. Charlotte and her gang taught more sewing, Tom made a home visit to one of his sponsored children and the rest of us cleaned rocks off the new soccer field.
The farewell dinner was last night. Awesome steaks, that cheesy rice stuff that everyone but Marv likes so much. Of course potatoes, you don't eat a meal in Bolivia without potatoes.
The weather was terrible the week before our arrival. Cold, rain and wind. It's been beautiful during our visit. However, we awoke this morning to low clouds. This is a problem because the Sucre airport has no radar. If they can't see, they dont fly. If they don't fly it's a 15 hour bus trip to La Paz to catch tomorrows flight home.
The team prayed, the Lord answered and the clouds rose. We hugged everyone goodbye at the airport, cried some and then flew out of Sucre. So .... I'm writing this from La Paz. Oscar Montes, the Bolivia National Director met us for lunch. Such a blessing to spend time with him and hear what God is doing through FH. After lunch it was off to shopping.
The bus leaves the hotel at 3:30 AM for the airport tomorrow. Ouch!
Hasta mañana.
