Evening has come and the team has eaten dinner at the UBB Center and is packing up to head to the bus depot to catch an overnight bus to Potosi. Daryl says that this particular bus has sleeper seats with foot rests and is much more comfortable than an air plane. They will be going to about 14,000 feet by morning so pray for the adjustment to altitude. Dan and Colin along with Julianne and Sheli will join the rest of the group in Bermego on Thursday. Meanwhile the group with travel with Dan' staff: Wendy, Jhonny and Hans.
Forgot to tell you about our ride to church on Sunday, there was some sort of parade for the blessing of a new taxi service going on so the normal route was blocked. The cars were all covered with local colorful blankets with silverware, dolls and money sewed on. Dan explained that it was an offering of sorts to the local god and then they would end at the Catholic church for the priest's blessing as well. Anyhow our truffe driver took an alternate less improved route, steep enough that the mirco bus could not pull the hills so several of us got out and pushed at critical spots.
We finished the lions share of the painting, landscaping and window scraping today and Dan was very pleased and excited to have 'a months work done in a few days'. Every one really worked hard and should sleep well tonight. The office space was quickly transformed as well as the front yard.
Several asked me to note that they were unsure as to the next time they would have internet service. We will have some contact with them as the Bolivian leadership accompanying then have cell phones and there is service at points along the way
Please pray for safe and memorable travel with chances to be Christ to one another and the others we will meet along the way.
