Living in the low lands in January is a very hot experience. Taking advantage of our mission conference in Santa Cruz, we hopped on a bus and traveled to visit friends. We sweated with Elias Leon and his family for a week. He is the one who helped us build the houses four years ago with our church group from Cochabamba. He is also the one who purchased the Bibles for the river trips. We were able to hear how God used ordinary people to spread the Gospel. We met Manuel and Rut, the 70-year-old riverboat captain and wife that made the river trips happen. We sat and listened to the excitement in their voices as they told us, about the people along the rivers who need the hear about God. What a blessing for us to be able to be with Bolivians serving the Lord. Please pray for this couple and for someone to take their place.
