Two REALLY BIG THINGS!!!

So, basically the SAME day that I posted that last post, God totally dropped two really huge things on our laps!

The first thing was that we got a call from a lady named Lori Esteel...she is Bolivian but was adopted by an American missionary lady when she was very young...and now she lives here! She called and said that she would be willing to tutor me Spanish!!! And get this...only 20 Bolivianos an hour!!! Which is like...not even three dollars! She's giving us a special price because we are missionaries with New Tribes. :) SO WOW! I had my first Spanish lesson Monday and my second yesterday. We are doing three days a week for an hour and a half! I have probably doubled my language learning time every day and so now my head continually feels FULL...

The second thing was that I went to the grocery store all by myself!!!!! Praise the Lord! Andy was busy so i just did it...and it wasn't that awful. I picked the worst night to go...they were having samples given out...so people kept asking me if I wanted this and that. One lady actually cornered me in the tooth paste isle and so instead of getting the "Crest" brand that I was intending, I got a cheap Bolivian brand...that I'm not even sure is tooth paste. :/ Oops. I didn't know how say (in Spanish) anything but "no thank you"...and she wasn't taking my "no thank you" for an answer...so, I just said. "Ok, thank you." Oh well, better next time. Minus the tooth paste tragedy it was a success...and Andy was quite proud of me! :)

So those are my two big things!!! Praise the Lord! He blesses us every day with something unexpected and wonderful!

Here's some pictures of life lately:

We got a kitty cat stuck in our avacado tree... :/ Andy climbed up there to get it...but it was too high...


We go out to the Bolivian Bible School (Etnos) almost once a week...Andy plays volleyball with the students and staff...he is literally two times bigger than most of them! Its so funny...


Getting the mail...it scares me every time. We wind through a maze of P.O. boxes, down really dimly lit isles...a good place for mugging if you ask me. :/
