venturing off to the lands of higher altitude!

Hello friends-

We are glad to announce that we have been water balloon free since Saturday! :) what a relief!
Tomorrow morning we start some more traveling! Our flight leaves at 8:50 am to head to the city of Sucre, where we will be for 4-5 days, really focusing on the needs they have for more people to come and work among the Quechua. Then after that we will be heading to the city of LaPaz, where the altitude at the lowest point is 11,000 ft and rising! It is the home of the highest commercial airport in the world... where planes don't land, they just stop! So you can pray that the altitude sickness we will experience won't last very long! I stopped at the pharmacy today and bought us some pills for it, so lets hope they work!

We will be returning back to Cochabamba on the 25th of February. We are really excited to be able to see other parts of Bolivia.. not that we haven't enjoyed Cochabamba, but we keep hearing great things about Sucre and La Paz,- we are ready to experience it for ourselves!

Thanks for praying!
