Day 2

The playground next to the church and the view of the Andes and the
Devil´s Tooth from the church.



After a solid night´s rest we attended a 10:30 church service at a small church outside of the city. Our team was completed with the arrival of Nathan and Mr. Yee at 5:30 a.m. The church was up in the mountains in a developing suburban area. The view was stunning as it was surrounded by mountains and located on a plateau of sorts. The service lasted approximately two hours with plenty of singing and worship. Admittedly the sermon was difficult to enjoy as it was completely in Spanish and only a few members of the team could understand more than a handful of words. After the service we ate lunch at a hotel founded by a Swiss and Bolivian couple. Again the location was beautiful and the food was delicious--some went out on a limb and ate llama. Following lunch we attended Lily Huang´s birthday party and enjoyed cake and ice cream. Unfortunately her piñata broke so some of the older kids had the privilege of making it "rain" candy from the second floor. None of them believed that the candy actually was raining, but few could figure out who was actually throwing. We ended our day with an evening devotion, prayer and journal entry to a question that Jesus asked twice in Mark 10 - "What do you want me to do for you?" That more or less completed our day. Tomorrow we will be touring La Paz and visiting the Kaya center for the first time.
