We are the South America Mission 2013 Bolivia Summer Team. We have been here in Santa Cruz Bolivia for one week. The interns are between the ages of 19 and 22 with varing privious experience outside the United States. It has been such a joy to spend time with them showing them the country I love. They are eager to learn about Bolivia and the various ministries that I have been able to expose them to. I am thrilled to see their world views broaden.
They have been surprised by joy as they have interacted with the friendly people of Santa Cruz Bolivia. We have spent time with; the family I lived with from 2004-2009, and university students that we helped learn English, and volunteers at a prayer meeting for a new ministry called Alfedero. Our team has also interacted with many different missionaries, giving the students many different perpectives of missions. Saturday the four students moved from the SAM guest house where they had been staying, into Bolivian host homes. They are living with different Bolivian famlies now while we are in the city, so that they can truely see what the Bolivian culture is like. When another missionary and I droped them off, I had such a lovely feeling of God's hands on the whole situation. I know the Interns will be blessed by their time in those homes, and the Interns in return I know will be a blessing to those homes. These four interns have sweet and sencitive spirits. We have had good times of discussion, prayer and laughter. They have been transparent, flexable and optomistic. God is teaching us all to trust Him more, and surrender our plans to Him. They are still in college and seeking God to know what is the next step. Monday will be spend the day with a missionary doctor in the orphanage Cristioviene that I had spend much time with through out the years.
This is Wendy with the missionary kids after the weekly Wednesday SAM prayer meeting.
The Joy of the Lord is our strength.
