Bolivia - 4 days left!

Hola! Nos estamos yendo por Bolivia en cuatro días! That's right. The Bolivia team of 18 students, 1 grad student and 1 faculty member is headed out Friday afternoon from Chicago, flying to Miami, and arriving in La Paz, Bolivia early Saturday morning. Be praying for plenty of energy throughout this long process.

But before we leave, we are taking care of some major preparations. We have the opportunity to spend the majority of our time at the Alalay Orphanage in La Paz. When we're not rollin' up our sleeves during work projects, we'll be doing various activities with the children including organized games, coloring, math, crafts, and singing. Each of us is assigned to a specific task and are in the process of getting supplies for these activities. We're also hard at work on basic Spanish phrases which Dan Saldi has been patiently helping us with. As a Bolivian native, we're so grateful for him and his family welcoming us to their country.

The team as a whole is eager to just get there and serve alongside the Saldi's in ministry! Please be in prayer for health as a few of us have been fighting sickness and such. But God is good and I am confident he will give victory over these things that the enemy only wants to use to discourage us. Keep praying with us and I am excited to share more of what the Lord is going to do in Bolivia!!

By His Grace,

Laura Bobbett (on behalf of Bolivia SB 08!)
