Piano lessons in Bolivia

Hi from Bolivia,

We are in the middle of some pretty serious political turmoil here in the country these days. Day before yesterday the governors of six of the nine Departments (states) broke off all official contact with Evo Morales the socialist president. Please pray for Bolivia in these days.

In the midst of turmoil, life goes on. Last night we went to Andrew's Fall piano recital. If you have been to Bolivia, you know that piano lessons would be a very low priority on most families' budget. In fact, there isn't even a piano store in our city. We found an OK Chinese manufactured piano for Andrew to use.


When we moved to Bolivia 3 years ago, we knew we wanted Andrew to continue with his lessons. We found a teacher, Sarai, originally from Cuba. She has been a real blessing to us. Her students are as good as any anywhere. Her older students are really amazing. This school year Andrew has gotten really serious in his piano study and the effort is paying off. Will you forgive a proud father a personal video?

Blessings from Bolivia,
Ron
