Friends and Family

Greetings for Santa Cruz, Bolivia,

Jon and I are doing well here in Santa Cruz. Time is quickly flying by us, and before we know it we are going to be coming back home (November 7th). We have about a two and a half months left here in Santa Cruz.... yeah time is flying.

We have been doing well as a team too as of late. We continue to grow closer together as we spend more time together.

Work is a blessing. Daily, the children grow closer to our hearts. Its going to be really hard when we have to say Good bye. I personally am not looking forward to it.

There is not much to say right now, but we appreciate your prayers and support. Its such a blessing to have you all behind us and praying for us. Thank you for blessing us!

Friends

Solomon & Eunice, and Abigail Mwangi. These are our wonderful friends, supporters and outreach directors.


Jon and David, who is from Mexico


Jeff & Kendra Nissley. They came to visit Solomon and Eunice, and we were also blessed by their visit.


Sherrie with Alfredo, Alfredo Puma, and Murlo. These guys are all from Cusco, and we all happened to be in Santa Cruz at the same time. I know these guys from my first YES experience in Cusco, Peru. Its a small World.

I would describe each photo for you but I don't have a clue.
But they are great pictures.


We are in the middle of such
increadable natrual beauty.

Sherrie and the girls

This is a picture of Abigail, she is Solomon

What a cutie... and the baby's cute too.

Some nice team photos,

Our first trip to Samaipata, this time without the team.
Samaipata is about two and a half hours out of Santa Cruz.
We went with a group of highschool students from Canada.
Friends from Cusco, Peru. Jon is with Alfredo Puma
Sherrie with Dawn Weaver. Enjoying the beautifully
clean Rio (River) Pirai, a city limit of Santa Cruz.
