Hello Dear Friends and family!

This is a short note to say that we have arrived safe and sound here in Cochabamba!  We had a slight delay in Miami which resulted in us catching a later flight from Santa Cruz (Bolivia) to Cochabamba, but we arrived here around 3 this afternoon, tired, but happy to be here.

We are staying at Berea Seminary where we sill commence on a work project first thing in the morning.  From here we have a gorgeous view of the mountains from this southern edge of the city.

After refreshing ourselves with showers and a good meal, we attended the first birthday of a little girl named Madison (see photo).  Her family attends a local church started by WGM missionaries.  In lieu of church this evening, the congregation met at the family’s home for a supper of meat, potatoes, onions, peppers and tomatoes and lots of singing.  We were seated up front and center behind the birthday cake.  We met lots of folks, including youth who will be joining us tomorrow to give us a hand with the project.   

The Zimmermans have provided a full schedule of activities for us this week and we are super excited at all that is in store!

Thanks for your prayers and enjoy the photos!

Love,

Nathan, Cydil, Dan, Jonny, Shannon, Andrew and Faith
