Back in Action

Back, off and running. As with every beginning of the year, things get going and you just hold on...no difference in Bolivia. It was wonderful being home, comforting, loving, refreshing...and also assuring. I loved beginning home and with that I knew that I was meant to come back. It has been a blessing to be in Bolivia and it remains that way since my return. It has been nice getting back into the swing of things, seeing everyone and exchanging holiday stories. Bible Study with the girls has started, the book study I am in is rolling and track has officially begun. A friend of mine, Jessica, and I are coaching distance and had a turn out of 15, which I was thrilled with. It will be a much different dynamic, as we may only be able to meet for practice 3 days a week. Carnival is also quickly approaching and with it, all the craziness. I look forward to all the cultural festivities!!!! It is all coming quickly, as some of the festivities begin tomorrow.
Lots of rain here, it pours, it's sunny (enough to burn in you a matter of minutes) then rain, rain and more rain...it's the only place that I know of that you need to have sunscreen, sunglasses, an umbrella and multiple layers every time you go out. It's sounds kinda bad, but of course sometimes it is so sunny, but raining. weird. Come, visit, check it out for yourselves!
