IOU Bolivia

Last week, we went to summer camp, and I will say that it was far better than I expected. It was a great time to learn about the Bolivian culture, practice some Spanish, and make some friends. The camp was pretty good size and had 700 people there from all parts of Bolivia and even other countries. We met people from Sucre, Santa Cruz, Chile, Argentina, and of course Cochabamba. And it was so cool to see how God provided for us. To start off, we left on the morning of a blockade, which I was under the impression that you don´t cross blockades with a car much less a bus. But we approached the blockades, and every time, they would decide to move the cars and let us pass on our way to camp. It was amazing. And God continued to work through the rest of the week by providing people that we could understand easily, friends quickly, and when we couldn´t understand we were never far from someone that could translate. That was definitely a first in Bolivia. And on the last night, there was a banquet, and we got to see what a formal event looked like for Bolivians. All in all, I would say it was an amazing experience. So glad we opted to go.
