This morning I went with Maite to Cochabamba International Church. It was my second week there and I really like the church. There are people from Bolivia and people from all over the world that attend. The services are kind of a mix of English and Spanish, and I like that a lot too. Some songs are in English and some in Spanish. The pastor preaches in English, but they have a translator that they broadcast on a radio station, and people can listen to the Spanish translation with headphones. I just really like the diversity there, and everyone is very nice and welcoming. I still need to find a Bible study to go as well.
Today is Maite's birthday, so after church we came home and had a lunch/party with lots of her family! We somehow squeezed 20ish people into the small living/dining room of our house. Teresa made some kind of pot roast thing, rice with cheese, yucca, and a salad with tomatoes and avocadoes. Maite made a jello cake thing with milk and peaches for dessert. YUM. We hung out and talked (I actually didn't talk much. I'm losing my voice) and took tons of pictures with everyone. They all left about an hour ago, so after cleaning up and washing countless dishes, now it's time to rest.
That's all for now...but another blog is coming soon about some of the interesting parts of Cochabamba life/culture!

Hey, sounds like you had a really full and fun day! Glad you are fitting into your life there in Bolivia. I saw one of Ann Barner's friends last night at the coffee house where Joel and Matt played (Suicide Awareness Concert). Her son, Christian is in La Paz (sp?) with Campus Crusade for Christ. He has already been sick a couple times. So, glad you are staying healthy so far! Ryan is on his way over to "hang" with us. He's bringing me some goodies, too, which I'm sure you can guess what they are...lol!!
