Bolivia Time = Busy, Busy, Busy

They say Bolivian time moves slower. That must be true because in the past couple of days we have: > Inaugurated a new competitive club team at the Soccer Academy. > Judged a drawing contest. The winners drawings are sent to Japan for the next level. > Made home visits to sponsored children. > Visited a new jewelry making micro enterprise led by teenagers. > Visited the Dance Academy where we wowed them with our dancing skills. > Visited the Sewing Enterprise and learned of a new phase in their business. > Inaugurated the new Virtual Computer Library MCC sponsored. > Participated in World View Workshops. > Eaten something about every two hours. > Worshipped with Spanish and English songs. > Prayed for a local Pastor who is experiencing very difficult circumstances. > Heard three separate devotions by MCC team members, they were awesome. > Listened to a radio interview with Luke. > Played with neighborhood children. > Planted vegetables in a community garden. The list goes on and on. Though the schedule has kept us running and we have participated in many worthwhile activities, the best, and most powerful part of the trip is experiencing incarnational ministry. Coming, as He did, to a culture not His own and demonstrating the love and character of the Father. He has called His church to this task, to live with those who's lives are so much different than our own to live Christ before them. Why would He choose such earthen containers for His Life? I don't know. We are to just obey. Tonight is the farewell dinner, the schedule says....many hugs. There will be tears too.
