Life goes on

Christmas season in Bolivia is pretty rough this year. There is a lot of uncertainty, fear and hate between different political factions. Here in Santa Cruz, our main square is filled with hundreds of hunger strikers protesting against Evo Morales and his socialist government.

Here is a link to an article from the Miami Herald about our current situation in Bolivia: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/16188677.htm


Jeanie brought 3 kids from Talita Cumi children's home back to our house to spend the weekend with us. Every year, the kids all go visit their "Tios" (aunts and uncles) so that the staff of the home can take time together for a retreat. While they were here we celebrated Cristina's 14th birthday.



Blessings,
Ron
