Not much happened today...but I'll write about it anyhow...

  
...

Today was a pretty easy day.  No major crisises.  It was nice...I actually got some work done.  I'm finishing up those prayer cards for the guys that I promised to do...a year and a half ago.  Funny how life gets in the way of all our good ideas eh?  Keep an eye out for them.  Hopefully you'll see them before Christmas. 

Then we decided at the last minute to go to a movie.  We haven't done that for awhile.  Most of the guys go away on weekends to visit various family members, so I decided to do something with the three guys who were here.  It makes their weekends a bit more fun.  These guys don't have family or anywhere to go, so sometimes it gets a bit boring for them. 

I've also been going through a stage where I like to hit the gas as we leave our dirt road and pull onto the pavement.  It makes a nice screeching noice that entertains me.  Tonight was especially impressive.  That led to stories of how we do emergency-brake doughnuts in the winter, in empty parking lots.  Oh...and how fast I've ever driven.  To give you an idea of the state of most Bolivian roads, Sandro wanted to know if I've ever gone over 100 km/h.

He was duly impressed with my answer.  =)

That pretty much sums it up.  Tomorrow we're off to church and then I've promised one of the guys I'd go visit his family and try to talk to his younger brother about his drinking problem.  Hmm...  Not sure how I agreed to that one.  Shouldn't be awkward at all.  Some gringo guy you've never met sitting you down for a heart to heart.  He wanted to go have that talk today...at his brother's birthday party.  Yep....that would've been fun...  =)  I suggested tomorrow might be a bit more appropriate.  I get that he wants to help his brother for sure...and I want to help too.  I'm just not sure this is the best way.  But we'll see what happens.  Feel free to pray about that one if you have a moment. 

Thanks for praying everyone.  By the way, I posted a few more pictures today.  They're from our visit to the pool last April for my going away party.  We had a good time...

Hasta luego todos!
