its raining, its pouring, hopefully no one is snoring

oh friends,

its been awhile since we last wrote. so here i go with letting you in on a little bit of tbone and jones' bolivian life. i (tbone) wake up a lot of mornings and pinch myself that this is real. its been so wonderful. ministry wise we are off to a great start i think. as you may figure out by me posting this that we were not able to head up the mountain today. we were bummed! but it rained yesterday and its pourin today thus it makes the road up there fairly nasty. but we hope to make the trip on thursday so hopefully this rain stops for wednesday and thursday. you guys can totally pray for that.

as for the rest of our ministry jazz its going really well. its a lot of meetings with the ministries to discover what they do and how God is working. and guys, these ministries are amazing. but the hard part is how can we can show everyone how amazing they are. so we continue to listen to God for the best ways to communicate all this work He is doing here in Bolivia. yesterday we were able to photograph at the radio ministry here which broadcasts to the quechua people. it felt so good to put my eye up to the camera again. love it! we sure do.

lets see what else..... oh as you know jones and i like to eat and let me tell you friends the bolivians know how to eat. they eat 6 times a day. joni and i haven't fallen into that pattern yet! :) but honestly everything that we have tried we LOVE! although there is one soup boiled from a lamb's head and then they decide to leave the head in there as a centerpiece, so needless to say we probably might avoid that one! but honestly everything else is super!

life is good friends. we love hearing from all of you with your life news and encouragement. its humbling to know how many people care for us! we wouldn't be able to do any of this without your prayers, encouragement and support. we hear iowa is freezing so wrap up and stay warm. we better run and keep editing our photos before it gets out of control. as the bolivians would say - CHOW!

Hey guys! I was just catching up with your site...thanks for posting. Love to hear how you're doing and how to pray for you. Sorry about the rain today, praying it is dry on Thursday. I think later this week it's supposed to be -1 F here. Ugh. Ah well, I already got my escape from the cold. Enjoy yours!

Lamb's head??? I guess that would be as bad as chewing on a goat's hoof and think it is chicken or something like that!!

great to hear a little about your trip and also to see the pictures.

Enjoy your time,
Ruby
