CHILDREN'S DAY CELEBRATION
 |
| Bolivia celebrates Children's Day on April 12th each year. At Happy Hour each child got a balloon and a special snack. |
 |
| Halloween is heavily tied to dark spiritual traditions in Bolivia, so Children's Day is an alternative for dressing up! |
 |
On special occasions we always have lots of kids at Happy Hour!
(Pay no attention to the sleeping child in the corner... it really was a fun day!) |
GUITAR CLASSES
 |
| This month we have started guitar classes on Friday afternoons. The kids are learning to play guitar using the worship songs we sing at Happy Hour. |
 |
| It's a slow process..... |
 |
It's a great opportunity to meet some of the parents that don't normally come to Happy Hour in an informal setting.
(Homemade pizza is always a good thing too!) |
HOME VISITS
 |
| Andres & Becky are expert bread makers, and they make fresh bread each week to take on our home visits. |
 |
| We have been working with a family this week that is struggling to provide for their grandchildren. Franco is TRYING to communicate with the great grandmother who only speaks Quechua. Needless to say, there was a lot of sign language. |
 |
| This particular family raises pigs, chicken, cows, and harvests corn, as you can see laid out in the background. |
 |
| Sometimes we get put to work cutting the corn stalks.... |
SUNDAY AFTERNOON BIBLE STUDY
 |
| We don't have a picture of the adults, but this is the table in preparation... |
 |
On Sunday afternoons we are studying the book of Acts with a few families from Happy Hour. The kids have their own class with Becky, and they are a lot cuter than the adults!
|
TRIP TO THE MOVIES
 |
| As a reward for memorizing bible verses, and having perfect attendance in her class at Happy Hour, "A" won a trip to the movies. We couldn't resist the $0.15 massage chairs, and she loved it! |
 |
| She's happier than she looks, I promise. |
 |
| Outside of the movie theater! |
BIBLE INSTITUTE IN CAMIRI
 |
Franco spent two week in April teaching a class in his hometown in southern Bolivia.
OTHER NEWS

We are expecting another baby in late October! We are so thankful for this life, and continue to trust God daily (and hourly).
